Double Chocolate Chip Muffins (Paleo, Gluten Free, Grain Free)

These double chocolate chip muffins are truly decadent. You won’t believe they’re paleo, gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins | Cook Eat Paleo

These double chocolate chip muffins are a little chocolate flavor bomb. It’s like eating chocolate chocolate chip cupcakes for breakfast. Or a slightly less sweet dessert. Either way, they will satisfy your chocolate craving and always disappear quickly.

The almond flour (I use this one) batter is super simple to whip up and you can have these chocolate paleo muffins ready to go in the oven in the time it takes for the oven to preheat.

The double chocolate in these muffins comes from cacao powder in the batter and dark chocolate chips (or chunks) mixed in before baking for even more chocolate flavor. Using almond flour for the batter keeps the chocolate pieces from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

I use cacao powder in these muffins because that’s what I keep stocked in my pantry. Cacao powder is less processed than cocoa powder. You can read more about the differences between cacao powder and cocoa powder here.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins

For the chocolate chips, you can use mini gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate chips. Or chop up a paleo dark chocolate bar like this one. You could even use raw cacao nibs for an even less sweet, lower carb version.

I also like to use ghee in these muffins too add the butter flavor. Of course, you can always substitute coconut oil for a dairy-free version. Just be sure to use dairy free chocolate for the chips as well.

I love these double chocolate chip muffins with a cashew milk iced latte. And they’re a perfect gluten-free, grain-free treat for an afternoon snack — especially with raspberries. They would also be really good with a little whipped coconut cream on top. I’ll have to try that next time.

    Sounds delicious but I am on a dairy free diet- any ideas for egg substitute that would work? Thanks

      I haven’t tried this recipe without eggs. But I see a lot of vegan recipes use flax as an egg substitute.

    Thank you for this recipe! It is so yummy! I replaced the honey with Truvia baking blend to cut the carbs a bit and added a bit more butter, and they were awesome.
