“Indulge in the decadent pleasure of Moist Keto Chocolate Muffins without any guilt, as this dessert lets you savor your love for chocolate while making a healthy choice.”
This taste is enhanced by a chocolate topping and dried strawberries, providing a perfect contrast to the cupcake’s rich chocolate color. It’s a well-known fact that we eat with our eyes as well.
How to choose the best ingredients for Moist Keto Chocolate Muffins
Eggs: Eggs always select the best you have, fresh. Here, the best will be the size of L or M. If you have a smaller one, just give one more egg.
It will be good when the eggs are at room temperature.
Natural yogurt: I always choose Greek yogurt because its thick, creamy texture suits me best. The only thing in this recipe will be any natural yogurt without additives.
Greek yogurt must be at room temperature.
Heavy Cream: I prefer heavy cream made from dairy products, but coconut milk will also be perfect if you like chocolate and coconuts.
The cream has to be sweet, and yogurts are probably unsuitable because cream and coconut milk give the muffins a creamy taste and ensure they stay fresh for a long time.
Ground Almonds: You can choose ground almonds, but the luxurious version is almond flour. The taste and appearance will be that the ground almonds are not as perfectly ground as almond flour, and you will see small white dots in the muffins.
It doesn’t bother me personally. You choose yourself. Generally, ground almonds are more available.
Cocoa: You choose traditional low-fat cocoa, not any chocolate drinks. Cocoa not only gives the muffins a chocolate flavor but also makes them fresh and fluffy. Cornstarch, which I always add, has a similar purpose in my muffins.
Erythritol: The sweetener you choose is up to you. Xylitol is also suitable for this baking.
The former provides additional calories but tastes more similar to sugar, and the latter is calorie-free. You add the same amount to both.
Tips and Tricks for Moist Keto Chocolate Muffins
- If you don’t have almond flour or ground almonds. Another substitute may be coconut flour, which is very popular in the keto diet. Remember that you add less of it because it absorbs macro products very much. I would add about 4 1/4 oz /85 g, i.e. 4 oz/70g.
- You don’t like butter? You can replace them with coconut oil in chocolate icing.
Sides To Serve for Moist Keto Chocolate Muffins
Chocolate cupcakes will be perfect for an afternoon coffee dessert.
You can serve them hot, for example, with a scoop of ice cream. Don’t serve them cold as the recipe suggests. When served hot, they will resemble a fudge chocolate cake with ice cream. If you’re passionate about the keto way of eating, the ice cream should also be keto-friendly. You can try making keto ice cream using my recipe, which is based on the original gelato recipe from Italy.ourse, you can try keto ice cream from my recipe based on the Original Gelato Recipe from Italy.

Moist Keto Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup natural yogurt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 1/4 oz ground almonds
- 1 1/3 oz cocoa
- 2 1/2 oz erythritol
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Topping
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp erythritol
Instructions
- The most important thing for cupcakes to come out perfect is that all the ingredients must be at room temperature.
- The next step will be to add cocoa and almond flour mixed with baking powder.
- Mix everything on low speed, and put it into muffin molds.
- Bake at 180 degrees C for about 20-25 minutes.
Chocolate Topping
- We put all the ingredients in a saucepan and dissolved on a prolonged fire to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sweetener.
- I recommend xylitol or stevia in this version because erythritol can crystallize after cooling down and spoil our flavors.
- Cool the muffins and pour the topping, sprinkle with dried strawberries.
- Muffins prepared this way will be soft for at least a few days, even up to 5-6. However, they are too tasty to wait so long for someone to eat them. Especially chocolate lovers. Even non-keto people can't resist this taste.
