Indulge in rich and fudgy Vegan Chocolate Muffins for breakfast or a snack! These fluffy chocolate treats are deceptively decadent, despite their healthy-ish ingredients.
Servings: 16 muffins
Ingredients
- 3 flax eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup applesauce room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk of choice room temperature
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus more for topping
Instructions
- First, make the flax eggs: stir 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of water together and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes so the flaxseed absorbs the water. At this point, you should also melt the coconut oil and set it aside for it to cool.
- Now, preheat oven to 350°, line a muffin tin with muffin liners and spray each one with a little nonstick spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda together.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla together. Then, add the flax eggs and cooled coconut oil to that bowl and stir to combine. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet, then use a spatula to gently fold them together. Last, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter amongst the prepared muffin tin (NOTE: this recipe makes 16 muffins, you‘ll have to bake in batches or use 2 muffin tins), and sprinkle each muffin with a few extra chocolate chips.
- Bake the muffins for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Leave the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack. Enjoy!
