- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice or cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup blackstrap molasses
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Coarse sugar or sparkling sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners; spray the inside of the liners with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the muffins do not stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, add avocado oil, maple syrup, molasses, milk, vanilla, yogurt and the egg. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly between muffin liners, filling about 1/2 of the way full. Sprinkle with a little coarse sugar or regular sugar (this will create a beautiful muffin and a delicious crunch on the outside). Bake muffins for 18-22 minutes until a tester comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Makes 12 muffins. Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
