Craving a sweet treat that won’t break your healthy habits? These gluten-free chocolate muffins are the perfect solution! They’re moist, protein-packed, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent the muffins from sticking.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the banana thoroughly. Add the Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the oat flour, almond flour, buckwheat flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. If you use homemade Bulgarian yogurt (which tends to be runnier), you may omit the almond milk or reduce it slightly to ensure the batter is thick yet pourable.
Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter, keeping a few for sprinkling on top.
Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Enjoy!
