    The ingredients

    We have a lot of your favorite ingredients and here’s what you’ll need:

    • Oat flour – which is blended rolled oats. Feel free to use any kind of oats, quick oats work as well. If gluten-free make sure that you choose a certified brand!
    • Almond flour – Make sure to use superfine almond flour and not almond meal!
    • Coconut sugar – A healthier alternative of brown sugar with a lower Glicemic Index. Coconut sugar also brings out the flavor of these muffins
    • Cacao powder – I used 100% unsweetened cacao powder. “Special Dark” cacao powder powder gives a fragant flavor. But feel free to use any of your choice.
    • Salt – Salt is so important on chocolate recipes. Because it enhances the flavor like crazy!
    • Coconut oil – Melted coconut oil or melted butter.
    • Baking soda
    • Baking powder
    • Eggs – Large eggs to be specific.
    • Vanilla extract – For that special hint of vanilla flavor.
    • Milk – I used unsweetened almond milk. The type of milk won’t affect this recipe. Feel free to use any other plant-based or dairy milk!
    • Chocolate chips – I used 60% chocolate chips. You can use any type of chocolate chips. If you don’t have, then replace for dark chocolate cut in small chunks.

    The instructions to make this recipe:

    • Preheat oven to 160C (320F).
    • Prepare – Gather and measure all ingredients by starting to mix the oat flour, almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
    • Therefore, in a separate bowl mix the coconut oil, coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and milk until well combined. Add dry ingredients, chocolate chips and gently fold together by hand using a spatula. Do not over mix.
    • Transfer – Transfer batter into a greased 8 oz ramekin or oven-proof bowl. Add sprinkles on top.
    • Bake – Bake for 25-30 minutes until inserting a skewer into the centre and seeing if it comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!

    How to enjoy a muffin?

    1. Alone: This muffin turn out SO good that can be eaten alone
    2. Glass of milk: I would pour some unsweetened almond milk to my glass. But use any milk of your choice!
    3. Cup of Coffee: Makes a great combo for those evenings where you crave something sweet and a shot of caffeine.
    4. Hot Tea: Perfect for a tea time and enjoy this muffin. This would be my personal choice to balance the sweetness.

    How’s the texture?

    This muffin turns out very fluffy with a thick bakery-style top. I’m literally obsessed with it.

    Storing tips

    • To store: Store in an airlight container at room temperature up to 1-2 days. Therefore, store in the fridge for up to a week.
    • To eat: Eat directly. The chocolate chips may have harden, so feel free to microwave for 15 seconds to have freshly baked muffin consistency.
