Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (375°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter or non-stick spray.
In a big bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, almond powder, cacao powder, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt.
Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl: eggs, coconut milk and coconut oil.
Combine both and mix until smooth and homogenous.
Fill the muffin rack with the batter, adding a piece of dark chocolate in the center of each muffin and covering it up with the batter.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. If you check with the usual toothpick, avoid hitting the chocolate center.
Cool the muffins on a rack and cover with powdered sugar.

Notes

Doneness Check: Insert a toothpick carefully, avoiding the muffin's centre to prevent false result from the melty chocolate!
