Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Sharon’s Nightshade-Free Gluten Free Flour Blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • 1/2 cup Dutch Processed Cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 2/3 cup Cold Milk
  • 1/3 cup Avocado Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup Coffee hot

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, sift and whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredient until just combined then stir in the hot coffee.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared muffin tins, dividing it equally among the 12 cups.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
  • Cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.

Notes

  • See post for dairy free and vegan substitutions.
  • I’ve also made this with cold coffee. If using cold/room temperature coffee, whisk it into the other wet ingredients before adding them to the dry ingredients.
  • These are also great with buttermilk in place of the regular or coconut milk.
