Chocolate and apple muffins, vegan and gluten free

If you follow my blog, you know that most of my desserts are gluten free and non dairy, and that I’m also  experimenting with vegan recipes

I’m not going vegan and I honestly don’t do it thinking that this will save the planet, I’m simply lactose intolerant, so I don’t use milk and its derivatives, and we often run out of eggs at home, because my  kids love pasta carbonara

Regardless of the reasons, when I took the first bite of these muffins, I fell in love with the intense chocolate flavour and the softness of the apples, which melt during baking

Make the pastry case

Add all the dry ingredients (rice flour, sugar, bitter cocoa, baking powder and vanilla) in a bowl and mix.

Put the rice milk and the oil in a measuring jug and mix, add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and whisk.

Wash and dry the apple, peel and dice it, if you prefer, you can cut slices to decorate the surface of the muffins.

Pour the mixture into 4 paper cups, bake in the air fryer at 150 ° C for 20-25 minutes, the apples make the dough more moist, always check the baking by doing the toothpick test: insert the toothpick in a muffin, if it comes out clean, the muffins are cooked.

Tips

  • If you love muffins, you should also try vegan orange chocolate muffins;
  • Muffins will remain fresh for 2-3 days stored in a vacuum container;
  • If you don’t have an air fryer you can bake the muffins in a convection oven at 180° C fo 20-25 minutes;
  • Although it may seem that all dark chocolate is vegan, in reality it is not, it may contain flavourings or anhydrous butter that do not make it so.

Difficulty:

Easy

Ingredients for the modelling

Just enough modelling sugar paste (more or less 7 g)

Tools needed

  • Rolling pin;

  • Ball tool;

  • Reservoir pen;

  • Flower board;

  • Shaping foam (flower mat).

fasi per preparare la rosa semplice

Make the rose

 Work the modelling sugar paste with your hands to soften it and make a ball, thin it on one side to form a drop of the size of the petal of the cutter that you have chosen (in my case 5 cm).

Using a flower board, roll out the remaining modelling sugar paste with a rolling pin at 0.8 mm, obtain a flower with the 5-petal cutter.

Place the flower on the shaping foam (flower mat) and thin the edge of the petals with a ball tool.

Wet the centre of the flower with a reservoir pen, place the drop in the centre of the flower and fix, take the first petal and wrap it tightly around the drop to cover the tip, do the same with the opposite petal, then adhere the other three petals, making sure that the left edge of the petal is always under the previous petal.

Using a flower board, roll out the remaining modelling sugar paste with a rolling pin at 0,8 mm, obtain a flower with the 5-petal cutter.

Place the flower on the shaping foam (flower mat) and thin the edge of the petals with a ball tool.

Wet the centre of the flower with a reservoir pen, place the bud in the centre of the flower and fix, take the petals and wrap them making sure that the left edge of the petal is always under the previous petal, modelling the petals to give more naturalness to the rose.

Proceed in the same way with another layer of petals cut with a larger cutter

Lavender biscuits (Gluten and lactose free)

When I go out into the garden and smell the lavender, my memory receptors are activated; today I wanted  throw in also a food memory, so I thought to try to prepare biscuits with whipped gluten and lactose free shortcrust pastry.

The smell of these biscuits is unmistakable and persistent, but the taste is very delicate and it’s perfect with coffee at the end of the dinner, or for a tea with friends.

These biscuits are without gluten and lactose, and so they are suitable for almost everyone, but in addition to this, it’s important to remember that lavender has anti-inflammatory, relaxing and digestive properties, so it’s a cure-all for the body.
