Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the almond flour, tapioca or arrowroot flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, and stir until just combined.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Toss 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips with 1–2 teaspoons of tapioca or arrowroot flour, then fold them into the batter to prevent sinking.
Fill the muffin liners almost to the top and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 15–17 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour.
Feel free to mix in your favorite nuts or dried fruits for added flavor.
