Instructions
Prep Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (200°C). Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease it. Ensure egg, milk, and butter are at room temperature.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Into a large bowl, add your gluten-free AP flour, oat flour, xantham gum, baking powder, and salt, and mix until well combined.
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, ¼ cup oat flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, ½ teaspoon salt
Cream Butter: In a separate bowl, using a mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
⅓ cup butter, ¾ cups sugar
Mix Wet Ingredients: Then, add the room-temperature milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Make Batter: Next, gently mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just combined being cautious not to overmix.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
¾ cups mini chocolate chips
Rest: Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. If it is too dry, slowly add in ¼ cup of milk until it reaches a thick yogurt-like consistency.
Spoon Into Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full, using an ice cream scoop for consistency.
Bake and Cool: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
*Xanthan gum: Omit your gluten-free flour mix that already contains it. Dairy-Free or Vegan Substitutions: To make these gluten-free chocolate chip muffins vegan-friendly, simply replace:
Large egg: Use a chia or flax egg. To prepare, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or whole chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens
Butter: Replace with equal parts vegan butter or vegetable oil
Ceased Butter: If your whipped butter curdles or ceases, it is likely because your egg or milk are too cold. Slowly microwave the butter mixture to slightly warm it back up. Be careful not to cook it. Then simply whip it again. Having ceased butter will not affect the taste of this recipe and is more of a cosmetic issue.
