“Who doesn’t love – and long for – chocolate muffins? Here, I made the most deliciously moist keto-friendly chocolate muffins. I snuck in some ground chia and ground flax which not only add a lovely texture – but fibre and nutrients. These chocolate muffins are lovely and will freeze well too.” – Monya

More on High-Fibre Keto Chocolate Muffins…
Adding ground flaxseed and ground chia seeds to your diet can significantly benefit gut health. These nutritional powerhouses are packed with fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients.

Both flaxseeds and chia seeds are excellent sources of soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps slow down digestion and absorption of nutrients, leading to better blood sugar control. Insoluble fibre adds bulk to stool, preventing constipation and promoting regular bowel movements. This combination keeps your digestive system running smoothly.
Furthermore, the omega-3 fatty acids found in these seeds have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation in the gut.
Additionally, both contain prebiotics, which serve as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. This encourages the growth of these probiotics, which play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

High-fibre Chocolate Muffins
Per serving
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 140 g (4.9 oz) almond flour
- 50 g (1.8 oz) coconut flour
- 170 g (6 oz) powdered erythritol, confectioners
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, (baking soda)
- pinch salt
- 3 1/2 TB cocoa powder
- 2 TB ground (milled) chia seeds
- 1 TB ground (milled) flaxseed
- 2 TB mixed seeds
Wet ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 120 g (4.2 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 200 g (7.1 oz) double cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan oven). This is 190°C for conventional ovens (or 375°F / gas mark 5).
- Combine all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- For the 'wet' ingredients: Have your eggs ready in a larger bowl. Add the vanilla essence to the bowl of eggs. In a small saucepan, place the softened butter and double cream. At this time, this is what you should have ready:
- Place the saucepan of butter and cream on the stove top over low heat. Whisk well until the butter and cream emulsify - do not allow to heat too much, this step is simply to melt and emulsify this mixture. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Use an electric hand mixer to mix the eggs until foamy. Once the cream mixture has cooled slightly, add to the eggs and mix briefly to combine. Do not mix for too long, as you don't want the cream to thicken.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture.
- Mix (again briefly) until full combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Divide the mixture between a well-greased 12-cup muffin tray.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester or sharp knife inserted into the centre of one comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Scatter over additional confectioners' Swerve, or simply enjoy halved and spread with unsalted butter.
