I cannot believe it’s already Thursday. This week has been flying by!
I’m finishing up a few parts for my 2nd-trimester recap and will have that ready to go live tomorrow! I can’t believe the baby will be here in a few months. Life hasn’t slowed down one bit. Yesterday, I had to get my 1-hour GD glucose test. It was not as bad as I anticipated, but I did get a bit of a sugar crash in the afternoon. I wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. The weird thing was that even though I had all of that sugar in my system, I was craving something sweet. I decided to make low-carb, and no added sugar muffins in the afternoon with a cup of decaf coffee. I used my lemon poppy seed muffins as my base and switched up a few ingredients to make them work.
These muffins turned out perfect, and the house smelled like a bakery when they were in the oven. They did not taste like they were made with almond flour or added sugar. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, made without butter, no added sugar, and made without flour! They also only have a few ingredients you most likely already have in your house. I’m so excited for you to try this recipe out! I included the video in this post so you can see how easy they are to make. Who doesn’t love a recipe you can make using one big bowl and no electric mixer?

Monkfruit (you can use any sugar replacement of your choice)

This recipe makes 12 perfect chocolate chip muffins! I stored them on my countertop next to the coffee maker for easy snacking. I may make a blueberry version of these later this afternoon. They look so pretty and inviting on the countertop. I’ve been purchasing spring flowers lately to put me in a warm-weather mood. Fortunately, it’s been in the ’60s, and 70’s here! All of my tulips and hyacinths are coming up from the ground. I need to get out later today to finish pruning the rest of my roses.
Each muffin has 8g of carbs, 3g fiber, 1g sugar, and 6g of protein!
I hope you all try this recipe out and enjoy it! 😊
These are amazing! The PERFECT low carb muffin! I ran out of monk fruit so I used Swerve and just tasted for the right sweetness level. A pinch more salt and some dark chocolate chunks and wow! Thanks!!
Hi, Kyli!
Thanks so much for your feedback! I’m so so so happy you loved this recipe 😊 Swerve is a great alternative to Monk fruit!!
