Ingredients

This easy recipe is full of simple ingredients.

• Non-dairy milk – You can also use whatever dairy free milk you have on hand. This adds moisture to the muffins. Oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, coconut milk and almond milk also work.
• Vegetable oil – This adds moisture to the muffins as well. You can also use melted coconut oil.
• Apple cider vinegar – This gets added to the soy milk to make a vegan buttermilk. It reacts with the baking soda to help the muffins get fluffy. You can also use lemon juice if you’re in a pinch.
• Baking soda & baking powder – This is used as a leavening agent and will help the muffins rise.
• Organic sugar – organic sugar is vegan in the United States. You can also use maple syrup or coconut sugar, but coconut sugar will change the taste of these muffins.
• Vegan chocolate chips – I love using the Enjoy life brand or Simple Truth organic brand from Kroger. Use whatever dairy-free chocolate chips you can find.
• Vanilla extract
• All purpose flour – If you want to make these a little healthier, you can use one cup all purpose and one cup whole wheat.

Helpful tips

– Don’t over mix the batter once you add the wet ingredients in to the dry ingredients. Mix just enough so there’s no dry flour on the bottom. If you over mix, your muffins will come out too tough.

– Fill muffin tin to ¾ of the way full with muffin batter, so they don’t over flow when they rise.

– Let the muffins sit in the muffin pan for 5-10 minutes after baking, so they won’t fall apart when they’re too warm.

– Measure the flour accurately by scooping the flour out with a spoon and filling up the measuring cup. Use the flat side of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. Measuring flour this way is the most accurate and will create the best results by making sure that you don’t use too much flour and it comes out dense or dry.

-If you’d like to cut down on oil even more, you can use muffin liners instead of non-stick spray.

Storing tips

In the pantry

Any leftover muffins will last in an airtight container on the counter for about 5-7 days. Let them cool down on a cooling rack or wire rack until they reach room temperature before storing.

In the fridge

If you want them to last even longer, store them in an air tight container in the fridge.

In the freezer

Yes, these muffins can be frozen. Just put some parchment paper in between the muffins and store them in a freezer friendly bag. Let them thaw out on the counter.

For gluten free muffins

To make gluten free muffins, use all purpose gluten-free flour like from bob’s red mill. You will need to make a flax egg to help it stick together.

To make a flax egg, mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding it in to the wet ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add more than just chocolate chips?

Yes, feel free to add nuts if you’d like. You can even omit the chocolate chips and add fruit like blueberries.

Can I use something other than soy milk?

Feel free to use any plant based milk that you have on hand.

Can I make this oil free?

For oil free muffins, substitute about ½ cup of apple sauce for the ¼ cup of oil.
