This recipe is the best I’ve found for low-FODMAP Chocolate Chunk (or chip) muffins. Light and moist with the melted chocolate in every bite. You cannot tell this is gluten-free or low-FODMAP.
This recipe yields low-FODMAP Chocolate Chunk muffins that rival my favorite cafe for breakfast treats (Starbucks). My sons are the toughest judges and they agree! They remind me so much of a low-FODMAP Chocolate Chunk Cookie (see my recipe) .

Yum!
Delicious recipe! I used a sorghum flour mix, and olive oil. They turned out perfectly.
This is wonderful Stephanie, so glad it worked for you. We really appreciate the feedback!
Yum!
Mine were a bit overdone in 18 mins but could be my oven or that I was converting to celsius. Will definitely be making them again!
Believe it or not 1 cup was actually too much choc (I used chips).
Thanks for the great, easy, recipe!
Thanks for the comment! As ovens vary, the directions suggest checking 3-5 minutes prior to the end time to ensure you don’t overbake these (at the top under bake time). Sorry you must have missed that. Better luck next time, glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Delicious!
These muffins are delicious! Disappeared pretty quickly! The mix needed some extra almond milk and they turned out great. Perfect for the whole family.
Awesome to hear Tina!
It is always good to trust your instincts if it needs a little fine tuning. Some eggs are larger than others, and the flour measurements may vary slightly when using a cup rather than weight system 🙂
Glad they worked out well and hope to hear from you again!!

Help
I’m very confused. I followed the recipe exactly and my batter ended up the consistency of cookie dough. I added extra oat milk to try and then it out but ended up giving up and putting them in the oven. They’ve baked for 20 mins so far and haven’t risen or left their doughy form at all.
Andrea,
Sorry, but we aren’t sure what went wrong…did you use all the ingredients? This recipe is tried and true, it has been baked many times in our household and is very consistent. Hope you have better luck next time.
Check that your baking powder isn’t old or hasn’t expired. That may be why you are not getting the leavening. Maybe add some acid (vinegar or lemon juice) to activate it.
The humidity level of your environment can impact your ingredients as well.
I’m low fodmap and dairy free so made these without chocolate and they were so good! Next time I’m gonna add cinnamon hehe
Thanks so much for a simple low fodmap recipe ❤️
