Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Muffins
- 75 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) buckwheat flour
- 75 grams (approximately 3/4 cup) almond powder (also known as almond flour)
- 140 grams (approximately 1 cup) whole grain or all-purpose gluten free flour mix
- 32 grams (approximately 6 tablespoons) dark cocoa powder
- 10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking powder
- 5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
- 3 1/2 grams (rounded 1/2 teaspoon) salt
- 100 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) raw brown sugar or packed light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 75 grams (1/3 cup) canola or grape seed oil
- 120 grams (1/2 cup) plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
- 5 grams (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- 330 grams ripe bananas (peeled weight), about 3 medium, mashed (1 1/4 cups)
- 115 grams (about 2/3 cup) semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped bittersweet chocolate
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Oil or butter muffin tins.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
- Pour in any bits that remain in the sifter.
- In another large bowl or in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whip attachment beat together the oil and sugar until creamy.
- Beat in the eggs and beat until incorporated, then beat in the yogurt or buttermilk, the vanilla and the mashed bananas.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix at low speed or whisk gently until combined.
- If using a mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill muffin cups to the top.
- Place in the oven and bake 30 minutes, until a muffin springs back lightly when touched.
- Remove from the heat and if the muffins come out of the tins easily, remove from the tins and place on a rack.
- I like these best served warm, but if they dont release easily allow them to cool, then remove from the tins.
