Almond Flour Muffins – Chocolate Chip!

Almond Flour Muffins – These amazing bakery-style chocolate chip muffins are grain, gluten, and dairy-free!  Perfect for a delicious Paleo Breakfast!

Slightly crusty on the outside and crumbly, cakey centers.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!  Usually, hungry, and wanting to fuel for the day, I never miss breakfast!  But, I also stick to grain, gluten, and dairy-free, so it has to be tasty, right?!

These muffins are best served and eaten the day they are made but will keep in an airtight container for a day.

Can You Bake With Almond Flour?

• Yes, creating grain-free and gluten-free baked goods with almond flour is a delicious alternative to regular flour.  You just need good recipes.

Can I Substitute Almond Flour For Regular Flour?

• Yes, generally speaking, it is a 1:1 exchange, but it depends on the recipe.  The recipe will also need a variation of the binding agents or eggs as almond flour recipes usually require more of this.

What Almond Flour Is The Best?

• For baked goods, blanched almond flour creates the fluffiest, best textured baked goods.
