For the Muffins:

1 large egg OR equivalent amount of egg replacer product Choose your favorite brand for a vegan-friendly option.
¾ cup granulated sugar For the right amount of sweetness.
1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk Or any plant-based milk you prefer.
⅓ cup vegetable oil A light oil helps keep the muffins moist.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract Adds depth and enhances the sweetness.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder The leavening agent that makes them rise.
½ teaspoon salt To balance the sweetness.
½ cup mini chocolate chips Plus more for sprinkling on top if desired.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins will bake evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin
Grease your muffin tin with a little oil or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg or egg replacer, granulated sugar, almond or cashew milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your muffins dense.
Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
Step 7: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for that extra touch of indulgence.
Step 8: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Skinny Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins warm, or store them for later!
