When making recipes with chocolate, it is recommended to use a good quality one. Usually, the easy way will be to go to the grocery store. However, their chocolate often contains large amounts of added sugar.
If you have never tasted Valrhona chocolate, you absolutely must! We have been using them for many years now and will never be able to go back. They have so many varieties with so many different flavors. They are not cheap, but their chocolates are truly going to bring your recipes to the next level. No wonder this is what the pros use!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Muffins
1 - Preheat the oven to 330°F (165°C).
2 - Crack the eggs into your stand mixing bowl, add the xylitol and whisk on high speed until nice and fluffy.
Tip: The KitchenAid Artisan Design Series and the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series are superstars among stand mixers and will look amazing in your kitchen! For more information, check out our detailed article "The Best KitchenAid Mixers & Blenders".
3 - Combine the butter and dark chocolate into a mixing bowl and microwave it for about 1 minute or until melted. Then, mix the melted chocolate and butter together until homogeneous using a silicone spatula.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls and mini glass bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
4 - Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the whipped eggs and slowly mix until well combined.
5 - Turn off the stand mixer and add the flour and baking powder to the bowl. Then, mix using the paddle attachment until just combined.
6 - Next, slowly pour the milk into the muffin batter while continuously mixing and allow to mix until the milk is fully incorporated.
7 - Finely chop the milk chocolate and add it to the batter. Then, mix until well combined.
Tip: We love these GrandTies knives and recommend this quality kit from GrandTies. They are made from high-carbon stainless steel and are very versatile. Check out our detailed product review video for more information.
We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.

9 - Use the topping of your choice, here we used whipped cream and cocoa nibs.
