Keto Chocolate Muffins

Keto Chocolate Muffins recipe & content provided by Sheridan Austin

These keto-friendly chocolate muffins taste just like the real deal, all without the sugar or flour you’ll find in regular muffins. Plus, they use a secret ingredient to keep them moist and chewy: Pumpkin! Not only are these chocolate muffins free from dairy, nuts and sugar, they also deliver gut-loving benefits from hydrolyzed collagen protein.

Recommended: Keto Collagen Bread

I highly recommend using cacao butter in your chocolate muffins because it enhances their rich taste. However, you can also substitute grass-fed ghee or coconut oil if you don’t have cacao butter on hand.

Pack these keto chocolate muffins in your lunch, enjoy them for breakfast or serve as an afternoon snack. I enjoy them warm with berries and coconut cream, but they taste just as delicious by themselves (even straight from the fridge).

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

3. Grease or line muffin trays, and spoon the protein muffin mix into the pan.
