Equipment

  • Muffin tins with at least 7 muffin cups
  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • 1 wisk

Ingredients
  

  • 120 grams (¾ cup) white rice flour
  • 35 grams (¼ cup) cornstarch OPTIONAL, you can use rice flour instead if you prefer
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp xanthan gum
  • a pinch of salt
  • 50 grams (¼ cup) white granulated sugar
  • 27 grams (2 tbsp) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt can substitute with buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 40 grams (3 tbsp) lard can use butter instead (4 tbsp)
  • 100 grams (¾ cup) chocolate chip

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160C (320F) and grease your muffin tins or line them with muffin baking paper. In a medium size bowl combine all the dry ingredients other than the chocolate chip and mix well to incorporate. In another bowl whisk the wet ingredients until combined.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well to incorporate. Add the chocolate chip and stir the batter a few times. Scoop the batter almost to the top into the muffin tins and place the tins into the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes before taking them out from the tins. Enjoy!

Notes

- If you don’t have chocolate chips, just chop a chocolate bar into small pieces!
- Don't overmix. Even though there is no gluten to overwork when you add xanthan or guar gum to the recipe you are running the risk of getting a dense and rubbery muffin if you mix the dough for too long.
