Healthy Chocolate Almond Butter Muffins! Flourless, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free and so easy to make!

I had a hard time deciding what to call these muffins because they are grain-free, refined-sugar-free, dairy-free and paleo. That would make a pretty long title so healthy chocolate muffins it is!

I like to keep my freezer well stocked with things like homemade waffles and healthy muffins for easy snacks and breakfasts.

I also love these muffins because they are so easy to make! They are made with easy-to-find ingredients and only take 1 bowl and 30 minutes to make.I am definitely one to get the occasional (or frequent!) chocolate cravings and these muffins totally hit the spot. For another healthy recipe try these toddler muffins. I hope you love them as much as we do!

  1. I’m just here to say, these are the best muffins I’ve ever made and they will satisfy any chocolate craving.
    I also used banana instead of applesauce (it’s all I had) AND I forgot to put the baking soda in but they turned out extra dense and moist. I love these and I probably won’t share this first batch like I normally would.

  2. 5 stars
    This is one of the best muffins I have ever tasted. I’m not even GF and I would choose this muffin over a regular one. SO GOOD!

  3. 5 stars
    these muffins are AMAZING!! WOW!!! i made them one day and my mom, who does not like healthy food “substitutes” (she likes the real deal) absolutely loved them! they are light and spongy. totally recommend.

    one note: i replaced the coconut sugar with honey. It worked totally fine.
