Equipment
- Muffin tin
Ingredients
- 157 grams gluten-free flour blend (or 1 1/4 cups) I like Blends by Orly Sydney Blend; or Bob's Red Mill GF 1 to 1 Baking Flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 c pure maple syrup
- 1/4 c packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 c nonfat plain greek yogurt like Chobani
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp dried cranberries (or omit this and add a full 1/2 c dark chocolate chips)
- 2 tbsp slivered almonds, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Heat Oven to 350 F
- Prepare baking tin with muffin liners (or spray cups)
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside
- In a medium bowl, use a whisk to mix together maple syrup, brown sugar, yogurt, coconut oil, egg white and vanilla
- Add dry ingredients to wet, whisking or folding to combine
- Fold in chocolate chips and cranberries (if using) with a rubber spatula. Let mixture sit for 4 minutes until slightly thickened
- Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with batter (I used a scoop for this), and then top with a sprinkle of toasted almonds. If not using almonds, top with a few chocolate chips or cranberries for color
- Bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean or until internal temp is about 205 F
- Cool and enjoy! These freeze well too!
Notes
- Use this recipe as a base for whatever ingredients you have on hand! You can add semi-sweet chips, nuts, or other dried fruits to make delicious, healthy muffins
- If you are a major chocolate lover, skip the cranberries and simply add 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
