Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill each muffin liner about two thirds full with batter. Bake for 18 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a bowl until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the cornstarch and granulated sugar. Add the mixed berries and toss gently to coat. Heat in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
- To assemble the muffin tower, place one muffin on a serving plate. Spread a layer of glaze over it, then spoon some berry compote on top. Repeat with remaining muffins, alternating layers of glaze and compote until all muffins are used.
- Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top of the tower. Serve immediately.
