fudge muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup low fat milk (I used coconut milk)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 3 tbsp light greek yoghurt (can use coconut yoghurt or dairy free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup wholemeal self raising flour (use self raising gluten free flour if needed)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup plus another 1 tbsp of honey or other liquid natural sweetener
  • 25g dark chocolate

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and grease your muffin tins or add muffin liners. Whisk the milk, oil, yoghurt and vinegar together in a bowl.
  • The coconut oil may solidify a little but that’s ok. Put it to the side for 5-10 minutes then in another bowl sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder together before adding the salt, honey and vanilla and combine well.
  • Gently mix the two bowls of mixtures together until combined then spoon evenly between 10 muffin tray holes. Bake for 15mins or until cooked through.
  • Once the muffins have cooled melt dark chocolate in the microwave with a dash of water in 10 sec lots until melted. Mix well and lightly ice the top of each muffin using the back of a teaspoon.

Recipe makes 10 muffins in a normal sized muffin tray, 130 calories per muffin.
Best kept in an airtight container in the fridge or frozen and heat in the microwave before eating. Enjoy!
