I used to eat Costco muffins growing up, before I had allergies. So, when I started having dietary restrictions I decided to try making my own copycat. These definitely lived up to my desires! Yum! Makes 12-14 muffins in 45 mins.

  1. 2 1/4 cups gf flour with xantham gum or guar gum 
  2. 1/2 cup super fine sugar (or 3/4 cup coconut sugar blended to a finer consistency)
  3. 3/4 cup brown sugar, OR maple sugar
  4. 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  5. 2 tsp baking powder, OR corn free here
  6. 1 tsp baking soda 
  7. 1/2 tsp salt 
  8. 1/2 cup soy free vegan butter, OR homemade (recipe is top 8 free, legume, and seed free)
  9. 1/2 cup oat yogurt, OR homemade yogurt (if legume, corn, and coconut free)
  10. 1 cup non dairy milk
  11. 2 eggs (add extra egg white if batter is too dry), OR 1/2 cup potato water *See notes on how to make

  3. Scoop 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin tin or a 9×5 bread loaf pan lined or lightly oiled. Top the batter with mega chunk chocolate chips, as desired.
  4. Bake at 350 for 30-32 mins or till edges are slightly crispy to the touch.
  5. Let cool in tins 3-4 mins and then cool on racks.

Notes

*Instead of using eggs like most bread recipes, I like to use 1/2 cup potato water. (You can also use sweet potatoes or applesauce if nightshades are an issue; but it will not rise as much and may have an aftertaste). The potato water makes the final product taller, fluffier, and moist. To achieve this potato water, I mash up one small boiled potato with 1 cup water until you get a mushy runny paste (kinda like applesauce). I then use 1/2 cup of this mixture in the recipe. See picture below for the right consistency:
