experimental GF baking with CHOCOLATE

Such a special day! I was blessed to meet some friends at the airport as they brought their baby girl home from china. They have had such a long journey and it's so amazing to see her in person! When I left, my boys were sound asleep. When I arrived home, the house was pretty clean and school work was done. They had a HUGE incentive! They wanted to play a new game they have been waiting on FOREVER (or so I'm told) I don't get the whole game thing... at. all. I do try to have some understanding though... occasionally...

Since the kitchen was clean I decided to mess it up again :) Experimental baking at it's best! I took a recipe and made it gluten free and also used agave instead of sugar. I don't use agave much, I prefer honey. I do think honey would work fine for this recipe. There is a very slight tang because of the yogurt but I really like it. They are very moist!

Preheat oven to 350. Line or grease muffin tin
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup agave (if you use honey I would reduce the oven temp to 325)
1 cup plain greek yogurt (low fat will not have the same consistency. vanilla would work as well but you would need to reduce the amount of sweetener)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup dark choc chips (i used ghirardelli dark)

Mix dry ingredients.
Mix wet ingredients.
Add wet to dry, stir until blended.

I started the timer at 15 and final time was 17 minutes

Guess what??? I actually REMEMBERED to take a picture! It didn't turn out well but it's a pic :)
