Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins!

Ever since I started my low carb diet, I've been really craving chocolate a lot more than usual to be honest. I did a lot of googling and searched all over reddit for a good recipe. It took me about an hour or so until I stumbled upon this one! Rather than making them into cookies, I decided to use my mini-cupcake pans and turn them into tiny muffins.

Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Grain-free) -Author: Detoxinista.com

Ingredients:

⅓ cup coconut flour
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 whole eggs
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and eggs until a uniform batter is created. The batter will start off a bit runny, but will thicken as the coconut flour starts to absorb the moisture. Add in the chocolate chips, and stir to distribute them evenly. (I used Enjoy Life allergen-free mini chocolate chips in this particular batch.)
3. Use a heaping tablespoon to drop the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet, and use your hands to flatten the cookies. Keep in mind these cookies will NOT spread on their own, so you’ll want to shape them how you’d like them to turn out.
4. Bake at 350F for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I basically did the same thing besides the following:

• Rather than using coconut oil, I just used butter
• Rather than maple syrup, I substituted that for water and added a little bit of sugar
• I added a little bit more flour since the batter was very runny
• I lined up the mini-cupcake liners in the pan and baked it in there for about 13 minutes
