💭Recipe Tips
- 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
- Plant based spread - if you don't have access to a vegan spread you could swap this out for vegetable or coconut oil
- 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 10-15 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

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

Hi, if I don't have self raising flour for the choc muffin should I put baking powder or yeast with the plain flour?. Thanks

I've been trying out vegan choc chip muffins but not managed to get the rise you have although they have been light and fluffy. I've been using plain flour and oil, instead of butter and self raising flour. Yours look fab.

You had me at 6 ingredients. The muffins look fabulous.
