Simple Vegan Chocolate Maple Syrup Muffins that are easy to make, and healthier than your average muffin. Dense and chewy, and refined sugar free.
So making these Vegan Chocolate Maple Syrup Muffins was my first actual attempt at making something vegan (I don’t know if I have made anything vegan before. I’m sure I did. But not on purpose..) Maybe an attempt of being healthier. Because healthy muffins are always a-okay with me! Really, any kind of muffins are okay with me!
This being my first real attempt, I didn’t know what to expect. Too dry? Too moist? Digging into these bad boys, I found that, like in Goldilocks, they turned out to be just right. I swear, it was like I was eating a soft, fluffy chocolate bar. And boy do I love chocolate.
Actually, the other day, the mother of my tutee gave me a huge bag filled to the brim with chocolate.(tutee? Is that a word? One who is being tutored? My spell check doesn’t seem to be liking it. Although it doesn’t like the word “Nutella” either, and I feel that that word should be included in every dictionary.) Anyways, best day ever. I’ll feel bad if I just eat it all myself, so I’m probably going to be doing some baking. Be prepared to see some more chocolate recipes!
Now I have no excuse not to make vegan treats, I honestly can’t tell the difference.

I grew up eating Goldilocks! I remember my mom had one by her office and we would always have something from there every morning I went with her. The muffins look great! I will try them out with either Almond or Coconut flour tho.
