So making these Vegan Chocolate Maple Syrup Muffins was my first actual attempt at making something vegan (I don’t know if I have made anything vegan before. I’m sure I did. But not on purpose..) Maybe an attempt of being healthier. Because healthy muffins are always a-okay with me! Really, any kind of muffins are okay with me!

This being my first real attempt, I didn’t know what to expect. Too dry? Too moist? Digging into these bad boys, I found that, like in Goldilocks, they turned out to be just right. I swear, it was like I was eating a soft, fluffy chocolate bar. And boy do I love chocolate.

Actually, the other day, the mother of my tutee gave me a huge bag filled to the brim with chocolate.(tutee? Is that a word? One who is being tutored? My spell check doesn’t seem to be liking it. Although it doesn’t like the word “Nutella” either, and I feel that that word should be included in every dictionary.) Anyways, best day ever. I’ll feel bad if I just eat it all myself, so I’m probably going to be doing some baking. Be prepared to see some more chocolate recipes!

Now I have no excuse not to make vegan treats, I honestly can’t tell the difference.

  1. I've actually found that the vegan desserts I've made have actually been some of the more moist and delicious ones! I love that these are sweetened with maple syrup. Delicious!

    I also called my tutees…tutees. Let's make it a "thing".

  2. hi cathleen, that's what a lot of people claimed that many times we cant even tell it's a vegan bake cos they almost taste alike with the non vegan ones. Looking forward to your chocolate bakes, how lucky you to get a whole bag of chocs!!

  3. I am so happy that someone other than me knows what Goldilocks is. Do you have one over where you live? I love everything they have especially the polvoron. These cupcakes are a must try! I've never baked vegan before,but would like to try it.

  4. I love these ! You really can't tell if these are vegan or not ! It looks the same to those (un)healthy ones that I adore ! hahaha Come to think of it I haven't eaten vegan desserts/food before pffftttt I'm an ignoramus when it comes to vegan food 😛 I guess I need to check some of the vegan cookbooks at our local lib then 😀

  16. I was a vegan for almost ten years, and even though I now eat eggs and butter, I still go back to my vegan muffin and cake recipes again and again. These chocolate muffins look (and sound) delicious!

  22. These vegan muffins look yummy. I have tried my hands on a few vegan desserts and found that they taste better than expected and often better than regular desserts. I’ll add your recipe to my list.

  27. I grew up eating Goldilocks! I remember my mom had one by her office and we would always have something from there every morning I went with her. The muffins look great! I will try them out with either Almond or Coconut flour tho.

    Thanks!
