Vegan Chocolate Muffins
Easy Vegan Chocolate Muffins recipe. This nut free dessert idea tastes like a cupcake but without the frosting to make them a healthier alternative.
Since I was contemplating being a vegetarian, I tried my luck at making Vegan Chocolate Muffins. And I have got to say: they were a huge success.
I didn't miss any of the butter, eggs or milk that would usually go into my muffins. They were light, fluffy, and oh so chocolatey.
And since it is snowing, this is hardly weather to go out, so I am Christmas shopping online while eating these delicious muffins. Whoever thought up online shopping, I want to walk up to you and shake your hand. Thank you.
What you need to make Vegan Chocolate Muffins
All you need to make these muffins are:
- flour
- white sugar
- baking soda
- salt
- cocoa powder
- oil
- water
- vanilla extract
- white vinegar
FAQ
- What does the vinegar do in these muffins? The vinegar helps with the crumb of this muffin. It is used to supply acid to these muffins which reacts with the baking soda to give it a better rise.
- Can you add chocolate chips to these muffins? The batter for these muffins is very thin. Almost more like a cupcake batter. So if you were to add chocolate chips to these muffins, it would most likely all sink to the bottom. If you wanted to jazz up these muffins a little, I would add something lighter like sprinkles to the tops of the muffins before you put it in the oven.
- How long can you store these muffins? These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7. You can also store these muffins in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Cathleen, no butter, eggs and milk sounds strange but I believe you! Will try it as soon as I can 🙂
