Ingredients

    1 3/4 cups GF All-Purpose Flour
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
    2 TB organic cocoa powder
    3/4 cup white sugar(can use brown but white is preferred)
    3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips and another 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
    1 cup milk
    1/3 cup + 2TB canola oil
    1 egg
    1 tsp bourbon vanilla extract



Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into a large bowl. Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, and then fold in the walnut pieces. Do this remembering that a lumpy batter makes the best muffins. Spoon into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.

Makes 12 HUGE muffins :)

    Thank you for the wonderful gluten free recipe. Made 12 giant delicious muffins. Didn't have any bourbon vanilla so used plain. Also had to add just a little more milk because the batter seemed really thick but that could be because of the combination of flours that I used. Kids even liked them! - 10/7/12

    These muffins are wonderful! I made them with SILK milk and the dairy free chocolate chips and without the walnuts. They came out so great! This recipe was the best. - 4/20/12

    These are amazing. I use Bob's Red Mill GF flour: extra fiber and protein. I've used all white sugar, half brown/white sugar, and now all Splenda, no flavor difference any time! That is great news to me! I love that with Splenda this is cutting down on sugar and calories! - 8/18/15

    does anyone know how I would make these if I used gluten free biquick instead of flour, etc? - 3/20/14

    I've just put these in the oven and the mixture was so stiff but I used coconut milk instead of ordinary milk, egg substitute and a vegan spread that I melted as in only had olive oil and learnt my lesson from that when I turned a cake green. Hoping they are ok?xx - 8/11/13

    I have now made these twice as a vegan gluten free muffin and we loved them! I used enjoy life dairy free mini chocolate chips, egg replacer and almond milk. They were moist, light, and plenty of chocolate flavor mostly from the chips rather than the cocoa. - 7/3/13

    I like the muffins! They were light and fluffy. I used goats milk due to cows milk sensitivities and also the enjoy life chocolate chips that are dairy, nut and soy free and left out the walnuts. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! - 1/25/11

    Made these following the recipe, except for adding two extra tablespoons of cocoa. That still didn't help, they need more cocoa. They came out pale and tasted like sweet flour. - 11/12/10
