Rich, moist, fluffy and super chocolaty gluten-free vegan chocolate muffins loaded with dark chocolate chips. This is the perfect treat to fix an intense chocolate craving.
Line a muffin tin with liners or generously grease the inside of each muffin cup with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, prepare your flax eggs by whisking together ground flax seeds and water. Set aside to thicken.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar together.
In a small bowl, mix the milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and flax mixture together.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well to combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter into the 12 muffin cups. If using, sprinkle each muffin top with mini chocolate chips.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of the largest muffin comes out clean.
Notes
Be sure to read the info above before making the recipe.
It's important to know that different gluten-free flour blends use different ingredients and ratios, so results will always vary if you substitute. I have never used any other brand of flour to make this recipe (other than Bob's Red Mill (Amazon link) in the red bag, NOT the blue bag), so please know that your results may not be the same as mine if substitute with another gluten-free flour blend.
This recipe will NOT work with coconut flour or any other single gluten-free flour, it must be a blend, the one mentioned above for the best results.
Brown sugar may be used in place of the coconut sugar.
Any type of neutral flavoured oil can be used in place of coconut oil, such as safflower or sunflower.
Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days and are great warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds.
