These Gluten-Free Triple Chocolate Muffins are a healthy recreation of the viral Olympic Village chocolate muffins!
Ingredients
For the Muffins
- 1 cup (112g) almond flour *see note 1
- 2½ Tablespoons (23g) arrowroot flour
- 2 Tablespoons (12g) cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch sea salt
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chocolate chunks or chips dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or a mix of both. Plus more for topping.
For the Ganache
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons solid part of coconut milk *see note 2
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix well to combine. Stir in chocolate chunks.
- Divide the batter into the lined muffin pan(*see note 3). Top with more chocolate chunks.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
- While the muffins are baking, make the ganache. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and solid part of coconut milk. Microwave for 30 seconds and mix well to melt them together. Microwave longer if necessary to melt them together, 10 seconds at a time. Refrigerate until cool a bit and thicken slightly. Transfer into a piping bag.
- Use a knife to make a hole in the top middle of each muffin. Pipe ganache into the holes. You can alternatively spoon a runny ganache in the holes.

Notes
*note 1: I recommend measuring the dry ingredients with a kitchen scale instead of measuring cups for accurate measuring. The result of scooping flour with measuring cups can vary and affect the result. Plus, you don't have to wash the dirty measuring cups!
*note 2:To separate the solid part from the liquid, refrigerate the canned coconut milk overnight. You can easily scoop out a solid part with a spoon from a chilled can.
*note 3: If you have a muffin pan with 12 cavities, I like to space out each muffin instead of placing them side by side. So that each muffin has a space to expand.
