Equipment
Ingredients
OR IF BAKING FROM SCRATCH
- ¼ cup brown sugar OR coconut palm sugar OR other alternative baking sugar note: for sweeter muffins, add up to 1/4 cup additional sugar
- 1½ cups 202 grams gfJules® Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
PLUS
- 6 Tbs. butter or non-dairy substitute e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks
- ¼ cup maple syrup OR honey OR agave or coconut nectar OR date syrup
- 2 eggs OR egg sub like 2 Tbs. flaxseed meal steeped in 6 Tbs. warm water
- ½ cup milk of choice
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup baking cocoa
- ½-⅔ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection). Adjust oven rack to middle position.
- If baking from scratch and not using the gfJules Muffin Mix, whisk together dry ingredients in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients: 2 eggs; 1/4 cup maple syrup; 1/2 cup milk; 1/2 cup applesauce; 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Cream the butter and sugar (if baking from scratch) OR around 1/2 of the gfJules Muffin Mix until the mixture is lighter and fluffy, around 5 minutes.
- Reduce speed to low and slowly add wet ingredients. Gradually add the combined dry ingredients or remaining Muffin Mix as well as the cocoa. Beat until fully incorporated.
- Lastly, gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into oiled or lined muffin tins, filling 3/4 full. Smooth tops with the back of a wet spoon or rubber spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (rotating pan halfway through for more even cooking) or until the tops spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with dry crumbs attached.
- Cool on a wire rack and store in zip-top or Tupperware-style containers. Do not refrigerate; muffins do freeze well.
- Makes 8-12 muffins, depending on size.
Notes
Muffins stay fresh for several days if stored properly at room temperature.
