24.05.2007 Double Chocolate Muffins

& if you think it ends badly...

You will find it nearly impossible to differentiate this take on a muffin version of the popular wacky cake from a non-vegan version. These muffins are free of cholesterol, and rather low in fat, especially if using the nondairy milk instead of the creamer version.

Non-stick cooking spray if making jumbo muffins
1 cup (120 g) whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour if you don’t have it)
1/2 cup (63 g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
1/4 cup (20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (76 g) unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (235 ml) plain soy creamer or any nondairy milk
1/3 cup (58 g) nondairy semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly coat a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, sift together flours, salt, sugar, cocoa, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together applesauce, vinegar, vanilla, and soy creamer.
Fold wet ingredients into dry, being careful not to over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter equally into muffin cups. Bake 16 to 20 minutes for standard muffins, 25 minutes for jumbo muffins, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 6 jumbo or 12 regular muffins

    Courtney! they are! I was impressed, the chocolate chips were melting when I ate one. it was luscious. ;p

    bazu: these are kind of healthy too, so losing self control wouldn’t be such a bad thing. muahaha! I’m evil.
    funny thing about the vinegar: in this case, it’s great to use a mildly flavored vinegar, so any kind of white vinegar would do [but the ACV could work too I'm ready to bet], although white balsamic was all I had around at the time when I first made the recipe!!! simple as that. :)

    urbanvegan: yup, double chocolate anything [anytime of the day, really] sounds like a party to me and my hips!

    These are in the oven right now! I made regular sized muffins and added cranberries and pecans.

  • Celine says:

    well done!

  • Lotta says:

    Mmm Yum. This looks so good. I cannot wait to try it!

  • Tamara says:

    Mmm, these look great! I have another chocolate muffin recipe that uses regular balsamic vinegar. I’m excited about this recipe because I have some Silk creamer in the fridge that needs to be finished up (I’m not a coffee drinker – bought it for another recipe) – hooray! Thanks.
