Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., Stevia or Splenda)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (optional, to adjust batter consistency)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with non-stick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, natural peanut butter, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract to the eggs, and mix until well combined.
Stir in the salt, baking powder, and almond flour. Mix until a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to loosen it slightly.
Evenly distribute the batter among the 6 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins as a Phase 1-friendly snack or dessert.
