Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose gluten free flour *see xanthan gum note
  • 1/2 cup sweet rice flour * you can sub out almond flour or just use only all purpose gluten free flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/2 cup 2 % milk
  • 1/2 cup ricotta
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup strawberry preserves

  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the liners in the muffin tin.
  • Into a large bowl, spoon the flour into measuring cups and level with a knife. Then add the sugar, baking powder and the salt. Whisk together to combine.
  • In another medium size bowl, add the milk, butter and ricotta and stir to combine. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Add a dollop(about a tablespoon) or so of the batter into muffin cup and then add about a teaspoon of the strawberry jam on top. Then top with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the sugar over the tops of the muffins and add the slivered almonds.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Notes

Notes:
My all purpose gluten free flour blend I use is from Trader Joe's and contains xanthan gum already in it. If your blend doesn't contain it, then you will need to add 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour.
If you want to omit the strawberry jam all together, you can add in extra chocolate chips. Also if you want to leave off the almonds , you can top with extra chocolate as well.
Storing leftovers: Store muffins in a zip lock bag or in airtight container for up to 2-3 days in the fridge. If you want to freeze them, make sure you are using a freezer-safe container. They will stay good in the freezer for up 2 months. Defrost inthe fridge overnight or reheat in the microwave for about 40 seconds.
