Ingredient Notes
- Spelt Flour: this is a wheat free flour, available in the baking aisle or health food aisle of supermarkets. Regular plain flour can be used instead.
- Monkfruit Sweetener: this is my preferred natural sweetener for this recipe, however you could also use Natvia Stevia which is another type of granulated sweetener. Just make sure the alternative sweetener you’re using measures like sugar.
- Blueberries: Go for small fresh blueberries if you can. Alternatively you could also use dried blueberries that can be found in the baking aisle, however these won’t be a juicy.

How to Make
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and monkfruit sweetener to a large bowl until combined
In a separate bowl whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the flour and gently stir until half combined.
Add the melted oil along with the blueberries and chocolate chips. Stir through gently with a large spoon until its just mixed together into a delicious chocolate batter.
Using either a silicone muffin mold, or paper inserts in a metal muffin tin, spoon the muffin mixture evenly across all the muffin cases, filling each one to about ¾.
Bake for 20 minutes in oven at 180 degrees C, or 350 degrees F. To test if they are cooked, insert a cake skewer or toothpick into the centre. If it comes out clean, they are cooked.
Let muffins cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the muffin tray, then gently remove them and set on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
