My favorite sugar-free chocolate chips
I talked a little bit about this on last Low-carb Chocolate Muffins post and I’ll repeat it again. Be very careful about the type of sugar-free chocolate chip you buy because some brands use maltitol as the sweetener. Some studies have been proven that maltitol spikes blood glucose levels. So, it’s a no no for people who have diabetes.
So, my favorite sugar-free chocolate chips is Lily’s Chocolate chips because it’s made with natural stevia and real chocolate. Also it’s dairy-free and soy-free too. I highly recommend it and this is the brand that I used to make this Paleo Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Banana Bread.

Can this recipe be made without the chocolate chip?
Yes I think so. You can add blueberries instead 😉
Why does it need to be covered with foil after 30 min?
To avoid to burn on the top.
