Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the almond flour, tapioca or arrowroot, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, mixing until just combined.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Coat 3/4 cup of chocolate chips with 1-2 teaspoons of tapioca or arrowroot flour, then fold them into the batter to prevent sinking.
Spoon the batter into muffin liners, filling them almost to the top, and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Allowing the batter to sit is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
For added flavor, consider adding nuts or dried fruits to the batter.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
