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

    I’m looking forward to knowing what you think of them, Lotta!

    oh you know Tamara, I always buy Silk creamer even though I don’t use it in my coffee, but I also always struggle to find recipes to use it up! I find it’s good to add creaminess to pasta and rice dishes, well, the plain version of the creamer at least. and of course, in several baked goods recipes too. yay!

    okay, i halved the recipe, used fat-free silk, a tablespoon of walnut oil, a teaspoon of cinnamon, a few pinches of allspice, and about a half a cup of zucchini. i left out the chocolate chips, but i think i’ll add them next time. they came out really well.
