What's better than chocolate chip muffins?

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins, of course!

You know the saying, double the chocolate, double the yum! 😉

Anyway, when it comes to chocolaty-ness (totally just made that word up), these muffins do not disappoint.

The most awesome thing about these muffins is that even though they slightly resemble cupcakes, it's totally acceptable to eat them for breakfast.

You know, because they are technically muffins, and it is a well-known fact that muffins are traditionally served at breakfast...chocolate and all. 😉

I mean, if you want one for dessert instead, I'm down for that too. 😉

These fluffy, chocolaty vegan chocolate chip muffins are also gluten-free (made with oat flour) and refined sugar-free (sweetened with coconut sugar and pure maple syrup).

I also made them nut-free by using soy milk, but you can use another plant-based milk on the thicker side such as full-fat oat milk or coconut milk beverage. 🙂

How to make vegan chocolate muffins

Since this recipe is vegan, of course, there are no eggs, so the first step even before you preheat your oven is to prepare your flax eggs.

To do this, combine 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons water. Whisk with a fork, cover and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

Now, go ahead and preheat your oven to 350° F, and then line a muffin tin with 12 baking cups.

Whisk together flax eggs, vegan butter, soy milk, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla in a large bowl.

Bake for 18-22 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Substitutions

Flax Eggs: You can use 6 tablespoons of aquafaba in place of the flax eggs.
Soy Milk: You can use another unsweetened plant-based milk on the thicker side. You don't want to use a thinner milk such as almond. I've found that Oatly brand oat milk also works well. You can also use coconut milk beverage.

Storing the muffins

Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
