Once melted, add the milk to the same bowl along with the vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and ground almonds
Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda
Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it’s looking too dry
Add the chocolate chips and fold in gently

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean
Tastes best when fresh, but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days
Notes
*If you don't want to use vinegar, substitute it with lemon juice as you need something acidic to react with the alkali bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)**You can alternatively use almond flour***Use refined sugar free chocolate chips for a refined sugar free version
