Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a bowl stir together the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. 0:21
- Add the melted butter, vanilla, beaten eggs and water and stir until smooth. 0:52
- Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips. 1:21
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases, spray the insides lightly, and divide the batter evenly. Press a few extra chips on top if you like. 1:36
- Bake 15–20 minutes (15 was enough for the cook), until a toothpick comes out clean. 2:20
Tip. Choose sugar-free chips sweetened with stevia or erythritol, not maltitol. Spraying the paper cases helps them peel off cleanly. They freeze well; thaw at room temperature.

Vitamin E High24%
3.6 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (89%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Magnesium Source15%

1.8 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free chocolate chips (30%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Zinc9%
0.9 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (41%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin B128%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (91%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Potassium4%
200 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (47%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Calcium4%
52 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (64%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Folate4%
14 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (51%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin D3%
0.5 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (72%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Omega-33%
0 g a serve, mostly from butter (64%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (48%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin K1%
0.8 µg a serve, mostly from butter (83%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve. An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
