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, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the almond flour, tapioca flour or arrowroot flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Toss 3/4 cup of chocolate chips with 1–2 teaspoons of tapioca or arrowroot flour and fold into the batter to keep them from sinking.
Fill the muffin liners almost to the top, then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 15–17 minutes, or until deeply golden and a toothpick inserted into the center 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

For a tropical twist, substitute the almond milk with coconut milk.
Keep an eye on the muffins to prevent overbaking; they are best when soft in the center.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
