| Garys philosophy in life is that one can never get too much
chocolate. Fortunately for him, chocolate has antioxidant properties. These muffins are very
chocolaty but not too sweet. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin pan lightly with
olive oil cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, sift together:
1¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3. In a medium bowl, whisk until frothy:
½ cup Wax Orchards
Fruit Sweet
¾ cup rice milk
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla
extract
4. Pour wet ingredients
into dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.
5. Fold in:
¾ cup coarsely chopped
walnuts
1 cup grain-sweetened chocolate chips
6. Fill muffin tins almost to the top with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes,
or until a toothpick inserted in middle of muffin comes out clean.
7. Let
cool in muffin tins, and then remove to serving platter. Yields 9 muffins.
