Wholesome Chocolate Muffins for Breakfast

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup brown sugar ¼ cup cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup soy milk ¼ cup grapeseed oil ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce 2 eggs 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your muffin tin by either greasing it or lining it with paper liners. In a large bowl, mix together the chocolate chips, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the soy milk, oil, applesauce, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just mixed—don’t overdo it. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Pop them in the oven and bake for around 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool a bit before enjoying!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep the muffins tender.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
