Hazelnut and chocolate make a delicious, rich and chocolatey combination, and remind me of ferrero rochers! After a bit of expert-baking I came up with this sugar free and gluten free chic-hazelnut muffin recipe. Best enjoyed fresh out the oven, alongside your favourite cuppa :)

Ingredients

1 cup hazelnut meal + 3 tbsp

1 cup almond meal

2 tbsp coconut flour

5 tbsp raw cacao powder

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp of granulated natural sweetener

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (for sugar free version), or dark chocolate chips

3 organic eggs

1/3 cup grass-fed organic butter

1/2 cup organic unsweetened almond milk

1 tsp vanilla

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

2. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine hazelnut meal, almond meal, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking powder, choc chips and natvia.

3. In a seperate smaller bowl, whisk eggs and stir in vanilla, almond milk and melted butter.

4. Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and combine.

5. Scoop into 10-12 muffin patties and bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden.
