Muffins for Moms

Happy Mother's Day to every mom out there!  I was so happy to wake up before my mom (which rarely happens) with my chocolaty surprise.  The muffins were just coming out of the oven when she woke up. These muffins took only about 30 minutes to mix and bake.  Warm, soft, and sweet with the perfect amount of chocolate.  If you are looking for something to make your mom this morning, I suggest these muffins.  It will be a delightful surprise.


Double Chocolate Muffins

1 cup gluten-free flour (I used C4C)
1/2 cup coco powder
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/4 buttermilk
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a non-stick mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coco powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.  Add the oil, applesauce, egg substitute, buttermilk, and chocolate chips and stir until combined.  Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup with the batter about 1/4 of the way full.  Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.  Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

We will be off to enjoy graduation in Lawrence, Kansas.  More pictures to come!  Enjoy your Mother's Day!
