Ingredients

• Flour: Good old plain flour is all you need for these easy muffins. If you want a gluten free version, just make a 1:1 substitution with your favorite gluten free flour.
• Sugar: Choose caster sugar for these muffins. Caster sugar is just super fine sugar, and it's readily available. If you don't have it on hand you can convert granulated sugar to caster sugar by adding it to a blender and pulsing in bursts until it's super fine. One half cup granulated sugar will yield one half cup plus 1 tablespoon of caster sugar.
• Baking Powder: This is your primary leavening agent.
• Baking Soda: Baking soda is needed for muffins whenever you have an acid present in your recipe - in this case we're making a vegan buttermilk by combining soy milk and vinegar.
• Soy milk: Soy milk will easily convert to a vegan buttermilk when apple cider vinegar is added. Almond milk and oat milk will also work.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is added to the soy milk to curdle it, resulting in vegan buttermilk. You could also use lemon juice or white vinegar.
• Vanilla: Vanilla is almost always present in baked goods because it enhances all the other flavors. Use the best quality vanilla you can find.
• Vegan Chocolate Chips: Dark chocolate chips are frequently accidentally vegan. Have a look at my article Are Chocolate Chips Vegan? to learn about which brands of chocolate chips are vegan.
• Salt: Salt balances out sweetness in cakes and muffins without giving them a discernibly salty taste.

How To Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins

• Preheat your oven to 375 F (200 C).

• Make your vegan buttermilk by combining your soy milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Set it aside to curdle for about 10 minutes.
• Now, all you need to do is to sift the dry ingredients into a medium size bowl. Add the wet ingredients and mix until everything is well incorporated. Be careful to not over mix. It's ok to have a few lumps of flour.
• Fold in your chocolate chips, reserving a few tablespoons for scattering over the top in the next step.

• Lastly, line your muffin pan with muffin liners. Fill each liner about ¾ full. Scatter the reserved chocolate chips over the top.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
• Allow your muffins to cool in the muffin tray for 10 minutes, before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
• Enjoy!
