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.
The recipe below includes the modification that I mentioned in the video. I am sure you will love these paleo chocolate muffins.
I took several of these muffins over to a friend’s house and her daughter eats only gluten free. She loved these muffins, too!

Well I did not have tapioca flour so used all coconut flour and regular sugar. Did not turn our like yours because it baked lumpy and I could tell when mixing it that something was not right. It was a bit dry but we put applesauce on it and it still was a good paleo dessert.
The tapioca flour and coconut sugar are important for these muffins :)
Loved your gingerbread muffin and so didn’t my friends! I plan on making chocolate ones next week!
