Ingredients
  

Topping

  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts toasted & chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/3 cup GF chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1/4 cup GF mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Batter

  • 1 1/4 cup GF Flour Blend* I prefer Bob's Red Mill Biscuit & Baking Mix blend
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Toast nuts on a baking sheet in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Mix together brown sugar and hazelnut spread, then stir in nuts and chocolate. Use your fingers to break up into a coarse crumble if needed.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until creamy. Beat in coconut oil and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add wet ingredients into dry, and whisk until just combined.
  • For muffins, pour into lined muffin tins, half-full. Sprinkle with the topping mixture to the top of the muffin well. Or you can create a layered effect: put a couple tablespoons of batter into each well, sprinkle over some topping, add more batter so its just over half full, then finish with another layer of topping.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. If using large wrappers (like in picture), this recipe will make 6 muffins. If using smaller wrappers it will make 12.
  • To make a cake, pour into a greased 8" pan, sprinkle evenly with topping, and bake for 30 minutes, or until done.

Notes

*if your blend doesn't contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 tsp to mixture.
