When developing a recipe, it takes a good bit of experimentation and lots of hoping with fingers crossed. You can see my process for this recipe while I bake these muffins in the video below:

Thankfully, these muffins were a success!

To begin, you’ll preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners and set it aside for now.

In your mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, baking cocoa, instant espresso, and salt. Set this aside.

In a second bowl, you’ll whisk together melted butter, applesauce, water, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar. Whisk in some eggs, one at a time . Then you’ll add the liquid to the dry mixture and whisk together.

The batter is then scooped into the prepared muffin pan.

Bake the muffins for 19-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

I took several of these muffins over to a friend’s house and her daughter eats only gluten free. She loved these muffins, too!
