What is coconut flour?
Coconut flour is made from dried coconut meat. It is a fine, soft flour that is extremely absorbent. When you see a recipe using coconut flour it will most likely use very small amounts of flour compared to what you would see for a traditional wheat, or even gluten free flour. Coconut flour is roughly used at 1/3 the ratio traditional flour is used.
Is coconut flour healthy?
Coconut flour is low in carbs and high in fiber. It contains an array of nutritions, including a good dose of protein and iron. Coconut are also a heart healthy ingredient, as well as helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. This flour is naturally gluten and grain free making it perfect for those with celiac.
Can I substitute the coconut flour?
No, this recipe needs to be followed exactly in order to achieve perfect, fluffy muffins. If you do not wish to use coconut flour I would suggest this recipe for Chocolate Chip Muffins that uses almond flour or this Pumpkin Muffin recipe that is also grain and gluten free.
How to Make Coconut Flour Muffins
As I mentioned, coconut flour is just not comparable to traditional flour, it is a very different ingredient to work with. For the best results, follow these steps exactly.
- In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sweetener. When the mixture is combined well add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla extract, beat with the electric mixture again until creamy.
- In another bowl combine the coconut flour, salt and baking powder. Slowly spoon the flour mixture into the wet ingredients while running the electric mix on low speed.
- When the ingredients are incorporated stop the mixer (do not over mix) and fold in the coconut and chocolate chips. Immediately spoon into prepared muffin tins and bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Keto Muffins with Coconut Flour
- This recipe uses monkfruit sweetener, sugar free coconut and chocolate chips to keep it very low carb.
- If you are not keto you can use regular milk, if you are keto you will need to use unsweetened almond milk for this recipe.
- Do not substitute almond flour in this recipe, it will not work.

You are pretty much describing my mornings right now, Annie! I am not a morning person at all, but I am (or was) able to hop out of bed when the alarm went off to start my day. But now, I hit the snooze and stay in bed until I absolutely have to get up! I blame it on work! 🙂 These muffins look delicious! I love the toasted coconut flavor. Such a great breakfast to get you going in the mornings!
Maebells says
I just don’t know what it is! I thought the time change would help because it is brighter in the mornings, but it definitely didn’t!
Leah | So, How's It Taste? says
I’m with ya on the coconut. I’ll take it in any form! So funny because I had Germantown Cafe’s coconut curry salmon last night and then went to Capitol Grille and had their coconut cake!
Maebells says
I am so jealous! Those sound amazing, especially that coconut cake!

Izzy says
I am so not a morning person! My husband wakes up at least 2 hours before he has to be at work and makes breakfast and I wake up about 1/2 hour before I need to leave and still have problems getting up! A Good breakfast definitely helps me get motivated though! I love coconut and these sound so good!
Maebells says
You are SO just like me! haha! My office is close to home so I wait until the last possible second! But my husband on the other hand wakes up HOURS before he has to go to work. I guess it is true, opposites attract! 🙂
Katie says
I love coconut, especially in an Alomond Joy 🙂 These muffins look great, I’d love to have one of these for breakfast. And you are not alone, I think most of us are zombies in the morning!
Maebells says
Katie that is so funny that you say that! I love Almond Joys and I had already decided the next time I am adding chocolate and almonds! 🙂

Daylight savings has made it really hard to get up in the morning — I hate when it’s dark! I’d pop right out if these coconut muffins were waiting for me, however — coconut is my favorite!

I agree Jess! It has been much harder lately!
Susan Reilly says
Hi I am new here, am trying this recipe and have a quick question. The recipes says to add in vanilla in the coconut flour muffins. with the liquid ingredients, but vanilla is not on the ingredient list. I added a teaspoon. Is that correct and something I should note for in the future? Thanks and enjoying the recipes I have tried thus far!
Annie Holmes says
Hi Susan, I’m so sorry for my error. I have corrected it. The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. I hope you enjoy!
Ching says
I like you recipe!! it looks perfect 🙂 I would like to try it next time~
Betty says
