Chocolate, almond & coconut muffins
250g plain organic flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
75g unrefined organic castor sugar
75g ground almonds
75g melted unsalted butter
1 medium organic free range egg
100ml coconut milk (full fat version)
100ml full fat whole organic milk
75g Green & Blacks Organic plain cooking chocolate, cut into rough chunks
Preheat the oven to 200C (180C for a fan oven).
Seive the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Roughly stir in almonds and sugar. Put milk, coconut milk and egg into a jug/bowl and whisk together with a fork until just combined. Add the melted butter to the liquid.
Stir the liquid quickly into the dry ingredients, until everything is just damp and then add the chcolate chunks. Combine them roughly, then spoon into a muffin tray. Makes 6 large or 12 small muffins.
Cook in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until just golden brown. Leave in tray for a couple of minutes, then turn out and cool, but not completely. Eat whilst still slightly warm. The secret of great muffins is to mix the mixture a minimum, keep everything fairly rustic and don't overcook them.
These are fantastic for breakfast, or with hot chocolate for an indulgent pre-bedtime treat.
