  • 1/3 cup (106 gams) honey
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs 50 grams each out of shell, room temp
  • 1/4 cup (56 grams) refined coconut oil melted
  • 2 cups (200 grams) finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons (27 grams) coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup (42 grams) Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (180 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips (use dairy-free / paleo chocolate chips, if necessary)
  • mini chocolate chips additional if desired, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners.
