We all have a love affair with chocolate chip cookies, so this felt like a recipe that might be most welcomed for so many folks! They turned out lovely and the only thing they’re lacking is the addition of some pecans. Given I’m the only one who likes nuts in my baked goods around here however, I simply went with only chocolate chips. Next time I may sneak a few in at least a couple as they add such a lovely crunch and flavor to this chocolate chip muffin.

Preheat the oven to 385° – line muffin tins with parchment liners.
In a medium sized bowl, combine cassava flour, maple sugar, baking soda and salt, whisk to combine, toss in chocolate chips, set aside.
In another medium bowl, add buttermilk, eggs, melted ghee and vanilla. Whisk well until eggs are fully incorporated
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir with a rubber spatula until you have a smooth batter.
Spoon into lined muffin tins (you should get 8-10 depending on how large you like your muffins) and sprinkle the tops of each muffin with some additional maple sugar and sprinkles, if using.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden and center springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and let cool in tins for 4 minutes and then remove to cooling rack
Let them cool a bit and then please enjoy! Store any that are not gobbled right up in the fridge for about a week. They also freeze beautifully!

Notes

TO MAKE BUTTERMILK: add 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice to 1 cup measuring cup and then fill up the rest of the way with milk of choice. Full fat coconut or almond milk works well as a dairy free option.
