    How long will gluten free chocolate chip muffins last?

    These muffins store great and will last for 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container on the counter. Which makes them great for meal prep.

    You can also freeze these muffins wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer-friendly container for up to 2 months. Simply defrost them overnight in the refrigerator when ready to eat.

    How do you make sure gluten free muffins come out fluffy?

    There are few tricks to making these healthy muffins come out nice and fluffy. First, the combination of the almond flour and gluten free all purpose flour definitely helps as well as whisking the flours together with a good amount of baking powder.

    The eggs in this recipe act as a binder and also help keep these muffins nice and moist and fluffy. Lastly, making sure not to over mix the batter will yield great, fluffy muffins.

    What you will need to make these healthy muffins

    Three eggs in a brown, specked bowl, with a bowl of flour, bowl of mini chocolate chips, plate with a stick of butter, small bowl with maple syrup, bowl of vanilla, wooden spoon with baking powder and a small wooden spoon with salt in front of it. With labels of each ingredient above each item on a white surface.

    How to make gluten free chocolate chip muffins

    1. Mix up with wet ingredients.
    2. Mix up the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
    3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips
    4. Divide the muffin batter evenly into a lined muffin pan.
    5. Bake the muffins at 350 degrees F for 17-18 minutes.
    6. Remove the muffins from the oven and press some more chocolate chips into the top of each muffin for that bakery-style look.

    How to make bakery style chocolate chip muffins

    To get that bakery-style look with these muffins you will want to make sure to fill the muffin cups to the very top with the batter so you get that nice muffin top when they bake.

    Also, you want to press some more chocolate chips into the top of each muffin right after they bake. This is a little tedious but so worth it for that delicious bakery-style look and taste.

    Expert tips for making perfect muffins every time

    • Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately then combine them. This will allow all of the ingredients to be mixed well before baking the muffins. This will also ensure you do not over mix the batter.
    • Use mini chocolate chips since the larger chocolate chips may sink when you bake the muffins.
    • Use a measuring cup or ice cream scoop to divide the batter between the lined muffin cups to ensure all of the muffins are the same size.
    • Let the muffins fully cool after baking so they do not stick to the muffin liners once you are ready to serve them.

      It’s so hard finding gluten free recipes that my whole family can enjoy, but I made these for my family yesterday morning and everyone loved them! My family had eaten all of them by the time I went for seconds, which never happens when I bake gluten free! I’m going to make them again today or tomorrow, and was wondering if I made a double batch if I could freeze some of the batter? These are definitely a new family favorite. Thank you!
