Why You’ll Love These Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins

  • These vegan muffins use simple gluten free prodcuts that you probably already have in your pantry if you are a regular gluten free baker. And if you aren’t a regular, all of these ingredients can easily be find in a local grocery store.
  • From start to finish, these vegan chocoalte chip muffins take less than an hour to make- and that includes baking time. You can easiily whip this recipe up in not time at all and an hour later have 12 delectable muffins sitting right in front of you waiting to be eaten.
  • These gluten free muffins are that afternoon pick-me-upper that you NEED. The flavours of oats, chocolate, and vanilla are balanced beautiffully in these vegan chococlate chip muffins.
  • I use flax in a lot of my baking as a binding agent, but if you aren’t a fan of flax, you’re in luck. These gluten free chocolate chip muffins don’t have flax. The binding agent in this recipe is the applesauce and the arrowroot starch!

How To Make Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins

These vegan chocolate chip muffins are so simple to make. One thing to note and to keep in mind is the oven’s temperature. It is key to start the temperate at 415ºF for the first 5 minutes and then turn it down to 350ºF to ensure you get the most fluffy vegan muffins. But when you turn the temperature down: DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. This is vegan/gluten free baking hack I learned a while ago when it comes to muffins. So trust the process, friends.

Something else to keep in mind is some of the products I used. To ensure these vegan chocolate chip muffins turned out perfectly I used Miyoko’s vegan butter, Bob’s Red Mill Oats (turned into flour), Silk Soy Milk and EnjoyLife chocolate chips! Now that we’ve discussed my fav products for this recipe, let’s look at the steps to actually make these gluten free chocolate chip muffins

  1. Start by melting the butter over low heat in a pot then set it aside to cool.
  2. Next, combine the soy milk with the lemon juice and let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Combine the melted butter, soy milk mixture, vanilla, applesauce and coconut sugar to a large bowl. Mix together using hand beaters. 
  4. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl (except the chocolate chips). Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. Add in the chocolate chips. 
  5. Let the batter sit for roughly 20 minutes to thicken slightly. At this point, preheat the oven to 415ºF.
  6. Line a muffin pan with 12 liners. Fill the cups almost to the top with the batter. The batter should produce 12-14 muffins. Bake in the oven at 415ºF for 5 minutes. Then turn the temperature down (without opening the oven) to 350ºF for 17 minutes (or until golden on top). 
  7. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tins for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool before enjoying. 

That’s right. Only 7 steps until you have the most amazing vegan chocolate chip muffins sitting right in front of you! You truly won’t regret making these little muffins.
