How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins
These healthy breakfast muffins are so simple to make so grab some mixing bowls and whisk and let’s get baking!
First, start by stirring together the dry ingredients.
Next, whisk together all the wet ingredients until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until a batter forms. Stir in half of the chocolate chips.
Line a cupcake pan with 6 liners and distribute the batter between the liners. Top with remaining chocolate chips and bake for 18-20 minutes and golden brown.
Let cool and serve! THAT’S IT!

After these muffins are done baking, let them cool completely and then place them into an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
These muffins are made with whole food ingredients and no added refined sugar so that’s an A+ in my book!

Super excited to make these and many other recipes you share!! Do you have the nutritional value per serving? My boyfriend is T1 diabetic so carb count is key 😊
Hi! You are going to love them! I don’t calculate nutrition facts but there are lots of great apps out there where you can easily calculate them. <3
Just made these and they came out both looking and tasting delicious. I must admit, I added a few extra chocolate chips (can never have enough chocolate!) Will definitely be adding this to my “healthy” dessert rotation! Thanks for the great recipe.
YAY! I’m so happy to hear it 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to let me know how they turned out.
I have a total sweet tooth and my husband is gluten free so I am always on the hunt for recipes that will satisfy both of us. We both loved these muffins and felt good about the ingredients used! I used large dark chocolate chips and they did not disappoint! Thanks for a great recipe!! 🙂
