Gluten Free Orange Chocolate Chip Yogurt Muffins

February 13, 2020 by Mia Zarlengo 2 Comments

Almond flour orange chocolate chip muffins! The most amazing gluten free muffin, with a dairy free option, that I truly can’t get enough of!

Happy Thursday friends!! We almost made it to the weekend! I’m getting ready to head out of town this weekend for a wedding, and its just been a busy week in general. But that just means lots of good recipes coming that I’m super excited to share!

I couldn’t wait to get this recipe up (and you guys couldn’t wait either judging by your Instagram messages when I shared them on my story lol). This muffin recipe is inspired by my lemon yogurt cake, an oldie but (very) goodie.

I have been itching to make a goof muffin recipe, and thee turned out exactly how I wanted them! They’re light, fluffy, packed with chocolate chips, and the subtle orange zest flavor is seriously so. good. Trust me! Orange zest + chocolate chips is actually one of my favorite baked good flavor combos, and it’s so underrated! The orange zest is subtle, but adds a really delicious extra flavor. So good 🙂

Another bonus is that these are only lightly sweetened with honey (just 1/3 cup in the whole batter). A wonderful refined sugar free and gluten free option for dessert to have on hand for the week, or to bring with you to a gathering!

note: i do not recommend any substitutions that are not listed in the recipe! changing the flours will result in a different texture 🤍
