Notes
Nutrition
How Many Carbs In Cocoa?
Considering you don’t use much cocoa powder it is very low-carb per serving.
One tablespoon of cocoa has 3 grams of carbohydrates and only 1 gram of that is net carbs.
Cocoa is very low calorie and low-carb it sometimes ignored by those on a keto diet due to the bad wrap high sugar chocolate gives it.
Cocoa powder is keto friendly and has a lot of nutrition benefits for low-carb diets.
You can buy keto friendly chocolate and we make our cocoa sweet by using natural sweeteners and sugar substitutes.

If i only have Swerve, can i use that? Is it a 1:1 swap with the erythritol? Thanks!
Hi Chelsea,
We don’t have access to swerve in Australia for me to be able to accurately answer, but from what I have researched a 1:1 swap should be fine.

Hi Marcela,
The serving size is one muffin and the recipe makes 12. Our nutritional information is based on the brands of ingredients that we use, it could be that your chosen brand has more carbs (I know different brands of sugar-free chocolate differ quite a lot) or that the app you are using has different data to the one that we are using. I hope that helps 🙂
I’ve been on keto for a couple weeks and desperate for some sweets. I made this recipe, but omitted the chocolate chips and it was AMAZING. ate 2 with some halo ice-cream. GAME CHANGER! im so happy! thank you!
These look delicious!
These are amazing. Made them for a friend’s birthday and put keto cream cheese frosting on them.
Yum! Cream cheese frosting is delicious. Thank you for your kind words, Jinger.
Made these by recipe but used 1/2 stevia and 1/2 raw sugar because that’s what I had on hand. Also added some collagen to add some protein. Think they are good. Might try coconut oil next time or add a little pumpkin.
Can’t wait to try this!
I took these for our Sunday morning Bible study class. We have several people who are eating low carb or they are diabetic. They were a huge hit and everyone wanted the recipe. These were super easy to make.
I’m so glad you study group enjoyed them! Thanks for stopping by Sherry 🙂
Loving this! Didn’t have any sugar substitute so omitted the erythritol and still yummy and moist! Baked mine as mini muffins at 12min. Totally superb! Thanks!
I made these last night and they are so delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe! I’ve tried many keto chocolate cupcakes/muffin recipes and this recipe is bookmarked for future use (maybe for tomorrow night lol)
Holy moly these are great! The texture and taste are spot on! I used coconut extract instead of vanilla to replace a craving. Oven time and temp were perfect. I had about a muffin of batter left so i tossed it in a mug and microwaved it. Molten delishousness! My new favorite keto recipe!
Thank you for your kind words Audra. I’m so glad you liked them 🙂
Was really struggling for something sweet and cake-like to hit the spot whilst on Keto. These were fantastic. Light and moist, I would eat these even if I wasn’t avoiding sugar. I am hard to please but these more than did the job. Thank you!
My first Keto desert and the whole family LOVES IT!!!
Thank you for sharing!
