Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free self-raising flour
- 50 grams Ground almonds
- 20 grams Cocoa powder
- 75 grams Dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 100 grams Dried cherries
- 100 grams Mixed dried fruit (e.g., raisins, currants, sultanas)
- 75 grams Coconut sugar
- 180 milliliters Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
- 60 milliliters Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for optional dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or pudding mold with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free self-raising flour, ground almonds, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Stir in the coconut sugar, dried cherries, mixed dried fruit, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups or pudding molds, filling each about ¾ full.
Place the muffin tin or mold in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pudding comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the puddings to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a festive look, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these indulgent, vegan, wheat-free Christmas treats!
