Gluten Free Paleo Chocolate Muffins

DESCRIPTION

These chocolate muffins are like a hybrid between a fudgey brownie and a decadent mud cake. They're grain-free, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free and high in fiber too. Although they're so delicious you'd never be able to tell they are healthy!

INGREDIENTS

• 300g sweet potato
• 2 eggs
• 80g coconut oil
• 150g maple syrup
• 40g coconut flour
• 60g cacao powder
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 50g dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
2. Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper muffin cups.
3. Peel and medium dice sweet potato.
4. Transfer sweet potato to a high speed blender or a large food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for chocolate chips, and process until combined and smooth, stopping to scrap down the sides if necessary.
5. Fold in half of the chocolate chips.
6. Transfer batter to greased muffin tin, filling each cup 2/3 full.
7. Top muffins with the rest of the chocolate chips.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until done (when an inserted stick comes out clean).
9. Let cool slightly and enjoy while warm, or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container!

NOTES

• You may substitute maple syrup with a liquid sweetener.
• If watching fat intake, you may half the amount of coconut oil or omit it completely. However please note the finished muffins won't be as moist.
• I used sugar free dark chocolate chips but you may use whatever chocolate chips you like. Feel free to substitute or add other mix in's such as chopped nuts as well!
