Yoghurt and Chocolate Muffins (no egg, flourless and lactose free)

You can hardly believe these muffins have no egg and are flourless and being lactose free that is a bonus however not a requirement; considering I have made these without using a lactose free yoghurt. A scrumptious chocolate no fuss, one bowl... or rather one container recipe that you will want to make over and over. 

Yoghurt and Chocolate Muffins (no egg, flourless  and lactose free)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

makes 6 muffins

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

3 tablespoons water

1/3 cup granulated sugar (white sugar)

1/2 cup Liberté Greek Lactose Free Vanilla Yoghurt

1 cup steel cut oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)

a pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of cacao powder 

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips

Sprinkle the chia seeds on the water. Allow mixture to expand for a few minutes.

Oil/butter a muffin pan or line with muffin baking papers. Preheat oven to 375ºF. 

In the container of a food processor, put all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips. Mix until throughly blended together. (Carefully remove the blade insert and scrape any excess batter back into the container.) With a spatula, incorporate the chocolate chips, into the batter.

Divide the dough into the prepared muffin pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffin comes out clean. Let cool on a rack. 

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. - JD
