Fudgy Gluten-Free Chocolate Muffins

Muffins fondants au chocolat (sans gluten)

One word: decadent! Soft, delicious and not too sweet, your taste buds will delight. The caramelized taste of the maple syrup blends perfectly with the slight bitterness of the cocoa. They are even better the next day after heating them for about 20 seconds in the microwave.
