There’s nothing like homemade baked goods – fresh, warm from the oven muffins, cake, or cookies fill up little tummies and make our families feel loved.

Maybe you love baking, but would like to find some recipes that aren’t so sugar-laden. I hear you! It’s always nice when you can sweeten desserts with fruit or natural sugars. That’s where these refined sugar free chocolate muffins come in.

These chocolate muffins have the richness of chocolate cake, but without a cup full of refined sugar. They are tender, rich, and chocolatey.

gluten free refined sugar free chocolate muffin recipe

Ingredients

  • gluten free flour blend
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
  • baking soda
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • maple syrup
  • banana
  • vanilla extract
  • vinegar
  • dairy free chocolate chips (optional)

Ingredient Notes

  • Banana – When using bananas to sweeten a recipe, the riper the banana, the better! Use bananas that have lots of brown spots, or use the bananas that you stuck in the freezer because they were too ripe. The natural sweetness of these bananas make these muffins extra delicious.
  • Gluten Free Flour Blend – You can use a store bought gluten free mix for this recipe, or you can try my own gluten free blend.
  • Maple Syrup – I like the flavor of maple syrup in this recipe. You could also use honey or agave syrup if you prefer.
  • Dairy Free Chocolate Chips – Most brands of dairy free chocolate chips have added sugar, so you can leave these out if you like.

Storage/Freezing

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for about 4 days.

You can freeze these muffins if you like – just store in a freezer bag. They should stay fresh in the freezer for about 3 months.

    Thank you for this recipe. I was wondering if this could work as a cake? I’d like to make it for a birthday party.

    Bananas and pure maple syrup are my go-to for sweetening treats, and these muffins look like pure perfection! I’m itching to bake a batch to enjoy them for breakfast!

      I made these last night. I had to bake them for an extra 5- 7 minutes because they weren’t firming up (toothpick still wet when checking). When they cooled they were very soft and broke apart too easily… I was disappointed. But I put some in the refrigerator over night and today they taste like amazing brownies ! That’s why the 5 stars lol. They are super yummy.

      Loved the consistency of these, but they tasted too much banana for me. Can you substitute with something?

        You can use unsweetened applesauce instead, or mashed sweet potato.
