Ridiculous Chocolate Chip Muffins

These are totally starch free. These are totally fantastic. They taste Just Like Regular Muffins.

Seriously.

I'm not kidding.

They are ridiculously good.



Chocolate Chip Muffins

1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup flax seed
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour (Bob's Red Mill works the best)
3/4 cup sugar*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon guar gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 cup mini chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 300°.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter, add eggs, vanilla, and flax seed.

Add almond flour and sugar, mix until slightly fluffy.

Add baking powder, baking soda, sugar, guar gum and salt. Mix very well.

Add buttermilk alternating with coconut flour, beat until fluffy. Add chocolate chips, mix well.

Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin cups. Bake 20-30 minutes or until done, rotating pans after 10 minutes. Let cool in muffin pans 5-10 minutes before enjoying. Makes 3 dozen.

* We prefer our muffins on the not-so-sweet side. If you prefer your muffins sweeter, increase sugar (or stevia equivalent) to a generous cup. Follow all other directions as written.

** If you read this recipe in the first few days of its posting, you might notice that I made a small change to the directions. After another dozen batches, I decided that it would work better if I added the coconut flour later. The ingredients are exactly the same.
