• Gluten-free and dairy-free chocolate muffin recipe
• Mini-size muffins (12 muffins)
• The baking time is only 13 minutes

📋 Ingredients

Here are the simple ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

• White Rice Flour: I use plain white rice flour, but you can substitute it with brown rice flour.
• Eggs: I use whole eggs.
• Sugar: I use beet sugar in this recipe, but you can substitute it with brown sugar, natural cane sugar, coconut sugar, or any sugar of your choice.
• Oil: I use Taihaku sesame oil squeezed raw, which has no fragrant aroma like regular sesame oil (pressed after roasting). You can use vegetable oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, or any oil you choose.
• Soy Milk: I use soy milk made from non-GMO soybeans with no flavor or sugar added. You can substitute it with dairy milk or plant-based milk such as almond or oats milk.
• Cacao Powder: I use unsweetened cacao powder.
• Baking Powder: I use aluminum-free baking powder.
