Author Notes
These vegan, chocolatey muffins are healthy enough for breakfast and indulgent enough for dessert. Top these ooey gooey muffins with a dollop of peanut butter to take it up another notch. —Kayli Dice
Ingredients
1 tablespoon
ground flaxseed
1 cup
whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup
old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons
baking powder
2 teaspoons
salt
1/4 cup
maple syrup
1/4 cup
melted coconut oil or canola oil
1 cup
unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup
dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a muffin tin with muffin cup liners.
- Prepare flax egg: combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Let sit until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, oats, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add maple syrup, oil, applesauce, and prepared flax egg.
- Stir until just combined (be careful not to over-stir!).
- Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let cool in muffin tin for about 5 minutes. Once completely cool, store in an air-tight container for up to one week.
