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 just made these (by that I mean I had my boyfriend make them for me) and they are sooooo good! The whole wheat flour really adds a nice texture to them. I can’t stop eating them but they are healthy enough that I’m okay with that.

    Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I just made them and the whole family thought they were great! I am lactose intolerant and have not had anything good and chocolaty for quite some time! I used almond milk and regular balsamic vinegar. I also made them in mini muffin sizes so I can enjoy more! Thank you for the great recipes!!
