Double chocolate muffins

Allergy information: Gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free, suitable for vegans, nut free
Ingredients
250ml dairy free milk
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
120ml vegetable oil
225g coconut yoghurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
150g coconut sugar or unrefined golden caster sugar
300g gluten free plain flour
10g baking powder
5g bicarbonate of soda
50g cacao powder
generous pinch of salt
80g chocolate chips.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
Mix together the milk and vinegar and leave to one side.
Sift all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarb, cacao powder, salt) into a large mixing bowl and mix.
In a separate large bowl, pour in the milk and vinegar mixture, along with the yoghurt, oil and vanilla and whisk together until beautifully smooth.
Add the dry mix into the wet mix and whisk until smooth and lump free. Fold in the choc chips saving a small amount to sprinkle on top before baking.
Scoop the mixture into the muffin cases until they are just full to the top. I use a 1/4 measuring cup to do this easily and evenly.
Sprinkle with a pinch of sugar and remaining choc chips then pop into the warm oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the muffins comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
They are best consumed and at their most delicious within a few days after baking.
