Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken into a flax egg.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For richer chocolate flavor, use a good quality cocoa powder.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for an extra flavor dimension.
- Ensure your vegan chocolate chips are melted and delicious.
