Ingredients:
- 130ml unsweetened almond milk (or any plain milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar or lemon juice)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 75g light brown sugar (or coconut sugar or cane sugar)
- 60ml neutral oil (for baking)
- 140g all-purpose flour
- 15g cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 120g dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, vinegar, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in three-quarters of the chocolate chips. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a muffin tray with liners. Fill each liner nearly to the top with batter.
- Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the muffins are firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
Enjoy! These Double Chocolate Muffins are not just a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. Perfect for any occasion, they offer a delightful, guilt-free way to satisfy your chocolate cravings.
