Ingredients

Servings

• 240 grams gluten free self raising flour
• 20 grams cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 60 ml vegetable oil
• 60 grams unsalted butter (melted)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp red gel food colouring
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 237 ml buttermilk
• 200 grams white chocolate chips (set some aside for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12 muffin tin with 12 paper liners or grease well.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients – melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food colouring. Whisk until smooth.
3. Add the dry ingredients (gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) directly into the wet mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix everything together until just combined. Use a hand mixer for a smooth batter, but do not overmix.
4. Fold in most of the white chocolate chips, reserving some for the topping.
5. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
6. Sprinkle the reserved white chocolate chips on top of each muffin before baking.
7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely – or enjoy warm!

Note

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
