Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup vegan yogurt I used soy yogurt
- 7 tbsp almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 6-count muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg if using. Add the oil, vegan yogurt, and almond milk, and whisk until the batter is smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and white vinegar and stir until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir again until the chocolate chips are evenly incorporated into the batter.
- Next, fill the muffin cups to the 4/5 with the batter. Top with more chocolate chips for decoration and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Note: if using a crown muffin pan, bake them for 22-24 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the muffin pan. Enjoy still warm, or let them cool completely on a grid. Muffins will keep for up to 3 days stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
Notes
- Generously fill the muffin cavities. If you want tall and generous muffins, do not hesitate to fill the muffin cups almost all the way to the top.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking. The batter is voluntarily not overly sweet since the muffins are loaded with chocolate chips that already bring a ton of sweetness. If using fewer chocolate chips, I recommend increasing the sugar in the batter (add an extra 3-4 tablespoons).
- Decorate with extra chocolate chips. For better-looking muffins, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top of the muffins before baking.
- Chill in the refrigerator. If you are like us and enjoy fresh muffins with crispy chocolate chips, place them in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes before enjoying them.
