Gluten Free Chocolate Muffins
I happen to love the taste of quinoa flour. It complements chocolate perfectly. But if you're not a fan of quinoa flour's taste, substitute your own higher protein flour. Buckwheat, almond, or brown rice flour should work.

Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth- it will be slightly sticky. If it climbs the beaters use a figure eight motion to control the batter better. If the batter is too thick, add in a little rice milk at a time until it becomes smooth- like a thick version of cake batter. Stir in: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (omit for nut-free) Heaping 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips Spoon the batter into twelve lined muffin cups. Swirl and smooth the tops with a wet finger if you need to. Top each muffin with a pecan, chopped walnuts, or a couple of chocolate chips, as you prefer. Bake in the center of a hot oven until domed and firm, but springy. About 17-20 minutes. Remove the baked muffins from the pan as soon as possible and cool on a wire rack (this keeps the bottoms from steaming). Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous warm from the oven, when the chocolate chips are melty. When cooled, I recommend wrapping each muffin in foil and freezing in a freezer bag for optimum freshness. Thaw to room temperature.
