Ingredients and Substitutions
That’s an easy 1-bowl muffin recipe made with the most basic pantry ingredients. All you need to make mini muffins with chocolate chips are:
All-Purpose Flour – For a gluten-free option, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend that contains gum. Apple Cider Vinegar or lemon juice – this boosts the raising agent and makes the vegan chocolate chip muffins even fluffier. Unrefined Granulated Sugar – Or sugar-free erythritol. Don’t use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup in this recipe, or the muffin crumb gets dense and gummy. Chocolate Chips – Feel free to use sugar-free mini chocolate chips if preferred. Milk of Choice – I used soy milk or almond milk. Baking Powder and Baking Soda – for a fluffy texture. Cinnamon – for flavor. Vegetable Oil – Melted coconut oil, canola oil, or a light flavor olive oil. For an oil-free option, replace the oil with mashed banana, and it makes delicious mini chocolate chips banana muffins. Vanilla Extract – for flavor.
Allergy Swaps
If you have some food allergy, or you want to make healthy chocolate chip muffins. I have some swaps ideas for you below:
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins – Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend that contains gums. Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins – Use erythritol as a sweetener and sugar-free chocolate chips. Healthier Flour – Swap half the amount of all-purpose flour with homemade oat flour. Nut-Free – Swap almond milk for soy milk or coconut milk.
