• 180 milliliters Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
• 60 milliliters Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (for optional dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or pudding mold with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free self-raising flour, ground almonds, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Stir in the coconut sugar, dried cherries, mixed dried fruit, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, orange zest, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups or pudding molds, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin or mold in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pudding comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the puddings to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a festive look, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these indulgent, vegan, wheat-free Christmas treats!
