Gluten-Free Vegan Dark Chocolate Fudge Muffins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 6 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened unflavored oat milk (I use Silk)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter (no added oil or sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil; melted, plus more for greasing pan
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (I used Bob's Red Mill super-fine natural almond flour from whole almonds)
  • 3 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoons flax seed meal
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (I used pink sea salt)
  • 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate; plus more for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350. Lightly grease a muffin pan for 6 muffins.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the applesauce, coconut sugar, oat milk, peanut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla until well combined. Microwave to warm if the coconut oil hardens after meeting the cold ingredients.
  • Stir in the oat flour, almond flour, cacao powder, flax meal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  • Divide the batter between the 6 greased muffin cups, then top with more chopped dark chocolate.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean--the chocolate pieces will be melty.
  • Carefully remove the muffins from the pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Heat any leftovers in the microwave before enjoying if you wish!
