Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (such as Bob's Red Mill(R))
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 (6 ounce) container plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, or to taste (optional)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt together in a bowl. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Combine buttermilk, yogurt, oil, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Batter should be thick; scoop into the prepared muffin cups using a tablespoon until about 3/4-full. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and centers are still moist and gooey, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
