Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
- Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy your vegan chocolate chip muffins at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter! Stir just until ingredients are combined to keep muffins light and tender.
- Use room temperature almond milk for better ingredient integration.
- For extra richness, you can substitute part of the vegetable oil with applesauce.
- Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for optimal rising.
- Let muffins cool completely to allow them to set and develop their perfect texture.
- For a flavor twist, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
