Notes

Substitutions
Gluten-free flour- I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-1 flour and I haven't tested this with any other gluten-free flour blend, but I imagine any 1-1 flour would work just fine. I would not substitute almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, or oat flour for gluten free flour.
Ghee- If you have a severe dairy allergy, substitute the ghee for vegan butter. You can also use regular melted butter if you don't need a dairy-free option.
Coconut sugar- You can use regular white sugar or brown sugar in place of coconut sugar
Dairy-free milk- You can use any unsweetened dairy-free milk like almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk. You can also use regular milk if you're not dairy free.
Coconut oil- You can use olive oil or avocado oil instead of melted coconut oil.
Chocolate chips- I like using Enjoy Life's Mini Chocolate Chips but you can use dark chocolate chips or whatever kind of chocolate chips you like.
Frequently asked questions
How do you keep chocolate chips from sinking in muffins?
You don't have to do anything to keep the chocolate chips from sinking. If your batter is nice and thick then it will prevent the chocolate chips from sinking.
Should my muffin batter be thick?
Muffin batter usually is thicker than cupcake batter. Muffin batter has a thicker consistency and can't be poured into the muffin tins, it usually needs to be spooned into the cups.
Tips and notes
Muffin liners- You can use paper liners or silicone liners to fill your muffin tray.
The muffin batter is on the thicker side and shouldn't be thin enough to pour. With the batter being thicker you won't have to worry about the chocolate chips sinking to the bottom. You can add a few chocolate chips to the muffin tops before baking if you like.
I like to put the muffins on a cooling rack and wait to eat them till they are at room temperature.
Storing and reheating
Store these chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. I like to pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm them up.
You can also freeze the muffins to have on hand for a later date. Make sure they are fully cooled then store them in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 3 months. I reheat mine from frozen in the microwave for around 30 seconds.
