Serves: 24 mini muffins
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil or other cooking oil
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons milk (I used 1%)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons potato starch
  • ¼ cup brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup sweet sorghum flour
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • ½ cup mashed banana (about 1)
  • mini chocolate chips for topping
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 and line mini muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and milk and beat on low speed until smooth. Add cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, potato starch, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, and tapioca starch and mix until well incorporated, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Melt chocolate chips according to package directions (I put mine in microwave for 1 minute and stirred until smooth). Pour chocolate into batter and mix on low until evenly distributed. Add mashed banana and mix until smooth.
  4. Fill muffin liners ⅔ way full. Sprinkle tops of muffins with mini chocolate chips. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until tops of muffins spring back with touch of a finger and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean with few crumbs.
  5. Set on cooling rack to cool for 2-3 minutes. Remove muffins from tins and continue cooling on rack.
  6. Store leftover muffins in loosely covered container for up to 3 days at room temperature or in airtight container in freezer for up to 3 months.
