😋Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • The ingredients within this recipe are straightforward, especially for when you don’t have baking powder or baking soda (although these can be used)
  • They make the perfect grab 'n' go snack
  • Minimal effort needed, quite simple to make
  • They just taste wonderful - naturally sweetened
  • Dietary friendly - vegan, can be made oil-free (both versions shown), dairy free refined sugar free. 

✔️Ingredients You’ll Need

Notes on some of the ingredients, the full list of ingredients and their measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

Self raising flour is super easy to work with. It does the job for you to help rise your muffins. I like using organic unbleached.

If you don't have this use all purpose flour (plain) with a teaspoon of baking powder + ¼ teaspoon baking soda.

Maple syrup will sweeten these egg free muffins

Dairy free milk of your choice, I generally select almond milk

Dairy free butter - this version creates a fluffier muffin. I have substituted this for unsweetened applesauce for a no added oil version, the muffins turn out delicious just not as fluffy/big, and have a little bit of sponginess.

Vegan chocolate chips of your choice. I have used a block of vegan chocolate which I then cut up into small pieces

Vanilla extract/essence to help enhance flavouring

🧁How To Eggless Chocolate Chip Muffins

Step 1 - In a large mixing bowl or mixer, add flour and make a well in the centre. Add all wet ingredients into the well and whisk until it comes together. Do not over whisk. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 2 - Scoop batter into well greased muffin tray (or if making these oil free, scoop the batter into non-stick muffin liners) Top muffins with additional choc chips (optional)

Step 3 - Bake in a preheated oven of 180C (356F) for approximately 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of muffin. Allow to cool before transferring. Store in an airtight container.

⭐ Pro Tips 

When baking, the best results are always achieved through measuring ingredients on a kitchen scale (affiliate link) using the metric system.

Flour should be fluffed, scooped and measured. Do not pack down. 

Chocolate chips - chocolate chips can be swapped for any vegan chocolate bar that can be smashed up into pieces; however make sure the pieces are similar in size to traditional choc chips

Maple syrup - can be swapped out for your preferred sweetener like coconut sugar

Don't over mix the batter, try to minimise the amount of mixing to avoid the muffins turning out dense

Allow muffins to cool for at least 15 minutes before taking them out of the tray, this will ensure they stay in tact

Store these vegan choc chip muffins in an airtight container (once completely cooled to avoid condensation) for several days in your pantry

This eggless chocolate chip muffin recipe yields 12 small muffins. If you're in need of a great 12 cup muffin tray, try this one (affiliate link)

❓FAQ

Why are my eggless muffins dense?

Generally this is because the batter has been over mixed. Try sifting flour to make it airy and measure out the right amounts, as more flour makes it dense. The batter shouldn't be runny.

Why are my vegan choc chip muffins flat?

Normally this is because the muffins are under baked. Do not open the oven during baking, set a timer as soon as they put into the oven. 

What are some other egg replacers in muffins?

Dairy free yogurts, vinegar & baking soda, unsweetened applesauce, silken tofu, mashed ripe banana, ground flaxseed, aquafaba.

Notes

As self raising flour already has rising agents in it, it is not necessary to add baking powder/baking soda, however if you do not have self raising flour, you can add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon baking soda to all purpose flour.
When baking it is always highly recommended to weigh your ingredients using a kitchen scale.
If replacing dairy free butter with applesauce to make this a no added oil muffin, the muffin texture will be slightly less fluffy and a tiny amount of sponginess - yet still delicious!

    Wow, they're amazing. The texture is so fluffy and perfect. I would never guess there's no egg in them.
