Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, melted coconut oil, eggs (or flax eggs), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
