Vegan Dark Chocolate Muffins
Make these vegan dark chocolate muffins with caramelized walnuts and be amazed by their rich chocolate flavor and moist texture!
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 Tbsps psyllium husks or 2 Tbsps ground flax seeds + 6 Tbsps water = awesome vegan egg replacement for 2 eggs!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- a pinch of baking soda
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup soy milk
- ¾ cup whole grain flour of choice I used whole wheat flour but you can use a GF one
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar or other healthy sweetener
- ⅓ cup walnuts chopped
- ½ cup dark chocolate flakes/chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease the muffin tins with some coconut oil. Alternatively, fit each with a paper liner.
- Prepare flax/psyllium eggs in a small bowl and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Add 1 Tbsp of brown sugar in a skillet over low temperature. Add chopped walnuts and caramelize them.
- Place coconut oil in a large mixing bowl (it should be creamy so leave it at room temperature for a couple of minutes). Stir in the flax eggs, soy milk, molasses, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder. Whisk to combine. Add the flour and mix well. Stir in caramelized walnuts.
- Scoop batter evenly into the muffin tins. Add a little at first, just enough to cover the bottoms. Add chocolate flakes/chips, then pour the remaining batter. Be careful to fill only 3/4 of each muffin tin.
- Bake for half an hour.
