Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tigernut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the tigernut flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix thoroughly until a uniform batter forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dairy-free chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute them without overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut oil is fully melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely when mixed.
- Tigernut flour can be dense; do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
- For best results, store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, suitable for those with related dietary restrictions.
