Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
- Add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla to a large bowl and beat with electric beaters.
- Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, collagen, baking powder, and sea salt and beat until just combined. Add the hot water and carefully beat it into the batter. Fold in the chocolate and pecans.
- Divide the batter between the lined muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. For extra chocolaty muffins, top with a few chocolate chips or chunks.
- Bake the muffins for 12-20 minutes - see the guidelines below. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Optional: top with a little sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Notes
- Fudgy dessert muffins: 12-14 minutes. Soft and delicate muffins that hold their shape: 16-17 minutes. Firm muffins that hold their shape: 18-20 minutes.
- To prevent the muffin liner from sticking, make sure to let the muffins cool completely before taking it off.
- This recipe was tested using Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. If you use a different brand, test if first to make sure that it doesn't gel when added to hot water.
