Notes

Tips for light and fluffy texture

Be sure not to over mix the batter, as this will result in too dense muffins. The key is to mix until just combined, the same goes when you add in the chocolate chips.

How do I measure the coconut oil?

Measure the coconut oil while solid, then melt in the microwave for 15 - 45 seconds until it turns to liquid.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes! Simply allow the muffins to cool, then store in an a ziploc bag in your freezer. Once you are ready to eat one, microwave it 15 - 30 seconds until warm.

Can I use a different flour?

Yes! You can substitute whole wheat pastry flour for all purpose. If you want are looking for a gluten free version, try my Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins
