Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the buns to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the buns warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
