To a medium-size bowl, add coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix with electric hand or stand mixer until fully combined.
Add dry ingredients and mix again until incorporated.
Place batter in the fridge for 20 minutes to avoid melting the chocolate chips.
When batter is cool, add in chocolate chips and mix just until chocolate is evenly distributed.
Fill greased mini muffin tins with batter until full. You should end up with 24 muffins cups filled.
Bake for 12 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. Muffins will be light in color but toothpick will come out clean
Allow to cool in the muffin tins once removed from oven.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week on the counter or three weeks in the fridge.
Notes
Maple syrup and eggs must be room temperature to prevent the coconut oil from solidifying. If your maple syrup is coming from the fridge, place it in a small pot on the stove with the coconut oil and heat on low until just warm enough that the coconut oil is liquid.
To get the eggs to room temperature quickly, place them in a bowl of very warm water for 15 minutes.
Collagen is optional. You can leave it out without a problem.
