    Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins with no added sugar.

     
    This is a chocolate and chocolate chip muffin recipe that has a hint of cherries on top.

    The cherries really add a nice flavor and fun look to these muffins.

    Did you try my recipe for Sugar Free White Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Muffins.?

    That chocolate muffin recipe is made with white chocolate chips. While both sugar free chocolate muffin recipes are tasty, this one has the added cherries for added flavor.

    To make this recipe you will need self rising flour. You can find a selection of self rising flour here.

    Frequently asked questions about chocolate muffins.

    What kind of cocoa should you use to make muffins?

    For a sugar free muffin, look for an unsweetened powdered cocoa.
    While you could use a Dutch Process unsweetened cocoa, for best results, I would use a basic unsweetened cocoa.

    For this recipe, you should be okay using a basic brand of unsweetened cocoa.
    However, some folks prefer a more expensive cocoa powder for a richer chocolate taste.

    What can be added to muffins to add sweetness as a healthy alternative to sugar?

    Healthier alternatives to sugar that are sometimes used includes dates, maple syrup, and agave syrup. What you should keep in mind is that the other ingredients may need to be adjusted to accommodate an alternative to sugar.

    In this recipe it is recommended that you use a granular sugar alternative that measures like sugar. This will help to keep your ingredients in balance.

    Tips for making chocolate muffins.

    This recipe is made using self rising flour. While the actual self rising flour is preferred, you can substitute in 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour and 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder that have been whisked together.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. When selecting a sugar alternative to use in this recipe, it is a good idea to use one that is granular and that measures like regular sugar. Also, use a sugar alternative that is able to be baked with.
    2. Because these muffins are darker in color and are made with chocolate chips (which can give a false negative), it may be a challenge to determine when they are done baking. However, the muffins should be done baking when they can spring back when gently touched.
    3. My muffins were made with fresh cherries that have been halved and with the pits removed. Certainly, frozen cherries could also work in this recipe as long as they too have had their pits removed and are halved..

    How to store chocolate chip muffins with cherries.

    Leftover muffins should be stored in an airtight container. If properly stored, they should keep for up to a few days at room temperature or frozen for a few months.

    About this recipe for chocolate chocolate chip muffins with cherries.

    This is a simple chocolate muffin recipe that is made with no added sugar.
    Added to these chocolate muffins are sugar free chocolate chips and sliced cherries.

     
    Self rising flour is used in this muffin recipe.

    This flour is combination of all purpose flour and a leavening agent.
    Also added is unsweetened cocoa for flavor and color.

    Ingredients needed to make Sugar Free Double Chocolate Cherry Muffins

    • Self rising flour. While I have not tried this, you could try using a low carbohydrate flour that has been whisked together with 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder.
    • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.Dutch process could be used for a milder flavor. However, I suggest using basic unsweetened cocoa powder.
    • Sugar Free Alternative. Use a granular sugar alternative that measures like sugar and that can also be baked with as well.
    • Oil. For a better blend of flavors, use a neutral oil such as vegetable oil.
    • Milk. A nut milk can be used alternatively with adjustments for texture if needed however.
    • Egg. Your egg should be at room temperature for best results.
    • Vanilla Extract. Added to help balance out the flavors.
    • Sugar Free Chocolate Chips. Semi sweet works well in this recipe, however, you can use any sugar free chocolate chip of your choice..
    • Cherries. The cherries should be pitted and sliced in half. However, allowing the cherries to sit on a clean paper towel while you work can help drain any remaining liquid.

    Yield: 12 muffins

    Prep time: 15 minutes

    • Preheat your oven to 325 and prepare you muffin pan for nonstick (liners work well).

    • Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar alternative and the oil until combined. Then add the oil, egg, and vanilla and mix until combined.
    • Add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl and mix until just combined. Then lastly, carefully fold in the chocolate chips and cherries using a rubber spatula.
    • Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins spring back when lightly touched. However, you can try using the toothpick test, testing in more than one spot.
    • Lastly, allow the muffins to sit in the pan for ten minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

     
    Expert Tip👉 Fill the muffins three fourths full as they will expand while baking. Also, you can top each muffin with additional chocolate chips and cherries if desired.
