These healthy three ingredient chocolate muffins are rich, dark, moist and have a gooey centre- Everything you want in a muffin! These flourless muffins are also gluten-free, paleo, dairy-free and have a tested vegan option too!
I actually think my teeth are greedy.
Most people I’ve spoken to are usually one of several teams-
Team Milk Chocolate.
Team Dark Chocolate.
Team White Chocolate.
Team ‘I don’t like chocolate.’
I, however, am on team greedy and proud of it.
When it comes to chocolate, I don’t discriminate. White chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks and dairy free milk chocolate morsels are all common ingredients in many of my recipes. I love white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, dark chocolate cakes and well….this recipe is living proof that all forms can co-exist together….until I eat it.
The only exception to this is decoration chocolate- Chocolate which is probably from the 1980’s that my mum keeps in a display unit NOT purposed for eating. Niki and I didn’t get that memo and let’s just say we had a very sinister taste in our mouths.
Oops.
Dark chocolate has suddenly resurfaced in my life and I don’t mind one bit. Long term readers know I’ve become slightly obsessed with this dark cocoa powder and have been adding it into anything and everything (within reasons….sort of). While I’m certainly not one to pick and choose the complexion of my chocolate, I have come to appreciate all things dark, especially after a recent dessert down up in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago. It was a dark chocolate molten cake and was rich, decadent and the perfect amount of bitterness. I asked the waiter if any sugar had been added and he said they hadn’t which had my wheels turning in my head…
As part of my collaboration with Kohl’s, I’m sharing healthy recipes with simple ingredients and minimal prep for you all to enjoy. This one goes out to anyone who loves chocolate and the ingredients are all easy to access and (if you’re anything like me!), sitting in your pantry or kitchen table right this second. The best bit is all you need to do is whip it up in a blender (like this one) and voila- No prep at all. Enter- these healthy three ingredient flourless chocolate muffins.
These healthy three ingredient flourless chocolate muffins are the perfect rich, dark cocoa fix you need and take barely any time to whip up! Unlike traditional bakery style muffins, these have no flour, butter, oil or sugar which might seem slightly off but trust me- If you are a dark chocolate lover, you will be a fan! They are naturally gluten free, paleo, dairy free and sugar free. For my vegan friends, these DO work using a flax egg, however will be quite limp and will need to be removed from the oven slightly earlier. I’d also recommend you DO add sweetener if you go this route.
HACK! These muffins have no added sugar whatsoever or are very rich, dark and robust tasting. If you want a sweet muffin or prefer some sweetness, add 2 tablespoons or more of your favorite granulated sweetener and take out the muffins 2 or so minutes earlier.
Make these healthy three ingredient flourless chocolate muffins and embrace whichever team of chocolate your on.
Except team decoration.

3 Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup smooth nut butter of choice I used homemade nutella
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder I used standard but tried it with dark and it's AMAZING
- 3 large eggs see notes for tested vegan directions
- 2 tablespoon + granulated sweetener of choice optional
- Melted dairy free chocolate optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a muffin tray generously with oil and set aside.
- In a high speed blender, food processor or even by hand, mix together your nut butter, cocoa powder and eggs (or flax egg mixure) until thick and fully incorporated. Add granulated sweetener of choice if desired.
- Pour mixture to fill each muffin tin to the top (there is no baking powder so they won't rise much) and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until just cooked in the centre- You want it to still be very moist, almost undercooked. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan completely.
- Top with melted dairy free chocolate and enjoy. Once heated slightly and halved, they are gooey and almost molten
Notes
Once heated slightly and halved, they are gooey and almost molten in the centre. They are best eaten this way. Muffins are freezer friendly and best kept refrigerated.

I’m Team Greedy too, if it’s chocolate, I want it!
Right? Thanks Becki!
YAAAAAAS. #TeamGreedyTeeth for the win. I basically eat everything and don’t discriminate either when it comes to chocolate ;). Also, that drizzle? Good god. <3
Thanks buddy! I’ll bring you a batch!
My mother-in-law gave me a candy jar filled with bright pink imitation candy that I tasted , only to find it’s soap. Yuk.
:O I’m sorry I’m laughing so hard right now, purely because it was from your mother in LAW!
Yum! 3 ingredients is music to my ears!
You and me, both!
Fake chocolate is just cruel! I’ve been such a failure at baking lately. Before Thanksgiving pie, my dessert remedy was a spoonful of PB with chocolate chips sprinkled on top…
um….that sounds pretty epic right about now!
Ummm hi, you know that emoji girl you use on IG that’s raising her hand? Yea that’s me saying HI I NEED THESE.
YESSSS!
3 ingredient muffins? Needs to happen! Also, I’ve got a super special fork to eat them with 😀
Omg. You and your cutlery. 🙂
Molten chocolate cakes – that was my first thought upon seeing those pictures. And that’s one good impression. Very good.
Your comment on the decorative chocolate reminded me of when a friend gifted me and a few other friends with homemade candles adorned with Gingerbread ornaments. One friend tried to eat hers …. fail ;).
I have a molten chocolate cake recipe in the works 🙂
I’m team dark chocolate. As long as it’s not TOO dark chocolate. I thought I’d go hardcore last week and try my hand at 90%. Never again. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen dark cocoa powder around these parts 😥
omg. why didn’t you tell me? I would have brought you some, it’s SO good. I will send you some.
I love how simple this recipe is! I’m also super happy that the original recipe doesn’t have any added sugar. Most recipes I see look way too sweet.
🙂 Thanks so much, Elaine!
I’m team white chocolate because it’s really butter and cream, although I kind of love all the chocolate. In fact, I just melted some semi-sweet with dark to pair with raspberries and it was amazing.
I like to A) mix cacao/cocoa and Stevia in Greek yogurt, B) have a piece of dark chocolate, or C) have a piece of dark chocolate on a spoonful of peanut butter! HEHEHE! On the occasion, I do make healthy chocolate recipes! Will try this one as well!
These look so delicious and easy but super high fat! Low carb is good but I hate how a lot of low carb recipes end up being high in fat. The nut better and eggs aren’t BAD sources of fat but there’s still a limit to how much I can consume!
I might try to use egg whites in these and let you know how it turns out! Love your blog – you have some great dessert recipes. I think several of them are on my pinterest.
Hi Ashley! Nothing wrong with high fat foods- Everything in moderation! 🙂
Good luck with trying it using egg whites- Cheers!
