Instructions

1. Prepare the oven

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease the molds.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the Grano Pampa Chickpea Flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar.

Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract.

Mix until fully combined.

4. Combine the batter

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Mix gently until you get a smooth and creamy batter.

Helpful tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins soft and tender.

Pour the batter into the muffin molds, filling each one about ¾ full.

7. Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes.

Insert a toothpick into the center to check doneness. It should come out clean.
