Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup gluten-free chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth.
4. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Helpful Tips

Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts to the batter for some extra flavor and texture. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by combining 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

Storage Instructions

Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. To enjoy frozen muffins, simply thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave.

Suggested Pairings

These muffins pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot cocoa. For a heartier breakfast, serve alongside scrambled eggs and fresh fruit.
