KETO CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE MUFFINS RECIPE

Finding a good dessert when living the Keto lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated. I talk to so many people who state that it’s one of their biggest fears of going Keto – losing flavor and great food options. I honestly can’t disagree more. Since my husband and I transitioned to eating low-carb, I don’t feel like we’ve missed out. When we first started the Keto diet, I had to change my mindset, but once I did and fully embraced it, I can’t imagine not eating Keto! These keto muffins are just proof that you can eat low-carb without feeling restricted at all.

One of the biggest reasons I love this low-carb chocolate cheesecake recipe is that it’s super simple to make with only five ingredients but tastes like it took a long time. It’s one of those recipes that come out perfect every single time. This recipe is easy to make, even if you aren’t a baker.

Ingredients needed to make keto cheesecake cupcakes

Philadelphia cream cheese – You have to have cream cheese to make cheesecake! I recommend the Philadelphia brand as it typically contains fewer carbs and ingredients
Monkfruit Classic – keto-friendly sweetener
Eggs – The binder used to hold this recipe together.
Cocoa – Used to give chocolate flavor to the cheesecake bites
Vanilla – Vanilla enhances the flavors of all the ingredients.

How to make chocolate cream cheese muffins

Preheat the oven to 350. Soften cream cheese, then beat with a mixer until smooth.

Add the eggs, sweetener, cocoa, and vanilla flavoring to the softened cream cheese.

Using a mixer, beat the batter until the mixture is smooth.

I recommend lining muffin tins with parchment paper muffin liners. You can find them here. Line 12 muffin tins with parchment paper muffin liners and pour equal amounts of batter into each.

Bake for 18- 20 minutes. Do not overbake.

Best served cold with a couple of fresh berries and a dollop of whipped topping.

If you find that you can’t eat them all, you can always freeze them for up to 6 months. I recommend freezing Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins individually; that way, you can grab one out at a time to enjoy rather than having to thaw them all together.
