Easy Vegan Chocolate Muffins recipe. This nut free dessert idea tastes like a cupcake but without the frosting to make them a healthier alternative.
Since I was contemplating being a vegetarian, I tried my luck at making Vegan Chocolate Muffins. And I have got to say: they were a huge success.
I didn’t miss any of the butter, eggs or milk that would usually go into my muffins. They were light, fluffy, and oh so chocolatey.
And since it is snowing, this is hardly weather to go out, so I am Christmas shopping online while eating these delicious muffins. Whoever thought up online shopping, I want to walk up to you and shake your hand. Thank you.
What you need to make Vegan Chocolate Muffins
All you need to make these muffins are:
- flour
- white sugar
- baking soda
- salt
- cocoa powder
- oil
- water
- vanilla extract
- white vinegar
FAQ
- What does the vinegar do in these muffins? The vinegar helps with the crumb of this muffin. It is used to supply acid to these muffins which reacts with the baking soda to give it a better rise.
- Can you add chocolate chips to these muffins? The batter for these muffins is very thin. Almost more like a cupcake batter. So if you were to add chocolate chips to these muffins, it would most likely all sink to the bottom. If you wanted to jazz up these muffins a little, I would add something lighter like sprinkles to the tops of the muffins before you put it in the oven.
- How long can you store these muffins? These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7. You can also store these muffins in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Delicious! And I agree – I even do a lot of my grocery shopping online. Best invention ever!
I actually make muffins using flaxseed in place of eggs, it is a great swap. These look tasty too!
I LOVE online shopping too! I`m definitely going to save this recipe for my vegan friends! Thank you!
I am glad I am finished with all Christmas present shopping long time ago.. But I haven't got the Christmas tree!! 😀
Vegan can be delicious! But I like to have a choice and make it only ocassionally, I am not sure I would be able to eat vegan always 😀
I just thought you're just joking ! lol For sure these vegan muffins are delicious !

I find vegan baked goods to actually be amazingly moist! These look awesome!

Great looking recipe! Although I'm not a vegan (or vegetarian), I often cook vegan fare – I enjoy the discipline, and it can be quite tasty. These look wonderful! Good stuff – thanks. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Cathleen, no butter, eggs and milk sounds strange but I believe you! Will try it as soon as I can 🙂

These turned out delicious. I added a cup of dairy-free chocolate chips and thought they tasted perfect. Thanks for the great recipe!

This recipe turned out so good! I swapped the granulated white sugar for coconut sugar, used extra virgin olive oil and added a few walnuts to the batter since we aren’t nut free.
I’m going to have to try that next time!

The taste of these vegan chocolate muffins was excellent, and the recipe was a breeze to follow! I made a slight modification by using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar, and it worked out perfectly!
I’ll need to try that substitution next time 🙂
