Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 TBSP Zerup Orange flavour liquid syrup 
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange juice (optional — adds flavour with minimal carbs)

Add-ins


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with paper cases.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together:
    • almond flour
    • coconut flour
    • sweetener
    • baking powder
    • baking soda
    • salt
  3. In another bowl, whisk:
    • eggs
    • melted butter
    • almond milk
    • vanilla
    • Zerup orange liquid sweetener
    • orange zest
    • orange juice (if using)
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  5. Fold through the Noshu milk chocolate chips.
  6. Let batter sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly (coconut flour absorbs moisture).
  7. Divide evenly into muffin cases.
  8. Bake for 20–24 minutes or until golden and a skewer comes out mostly clean.
  9. Cool for at least 10 minutes before eating — they firm up as they cool.

Optional Extras

  • Add a cream cheese swirl for a “jaffa cheesecake” vibe
  • Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking
  • Add 1 tbsp collagen or tasteless protein powder for extra protein
  • Drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate once cooled

Storage

  • Keep in an airtight container for 4 days
  • Freeze really well for up to 2 months
