These Healthy Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins are sweetened with maple syrup and chocolate chips, super easy to make and great for breakfast, dessert or just snacking! Vegan.
Chocolate muffins in your face today friends!!! 😉
I modified my Amazing Blueberry Muffins recipe and made it quite a bit healthier! The only “added” sugar in these Healthy Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins are the chocolate chips! The other sweeteners are natural, maple syrup and apple sauce!
But if you aren’t the type that likes lower sugar desserts that's totally cool by me 😉 hope over and check out the blueberry ones linked above!
Soooo I’ll be honest, these started out as a chocolate raspberry muffin… that didn’t go very well, the raspberries got ishy soggy and made strange bubbles in the middle of the muffin… it was definitely NOT good! But the chocolate chips in here worked amazing, every bite is soft and slightly chewy, dense and moist and has mini chocolate chips, I mean what could be better?... now that I am typing this, I think maybe some walnuts would have been pretty tasty too… next time!
Also I know everyone who is Gluten Free is probably disappointed right now, but I’ll be honest GF baking is HARD! I’m trying to find a flour or a mix that I like when it comes to baking things like muffins but I usually don’t like how it turns out, either a funky texture or strange taste… but I keep trying, so all you who are GF, be patient with me I’m always thinking about it! 😉
Anyways, let me tell you a little more about these Healthy Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins:
Super moist
Slightly chewy texture
Fairly low in added sugar from the chocolate chips (not counting maple syrup or apple sauce)
Chocolate chip delightful-ness!
Dense
amazing when warmed up in the microwave also!
EASY!
Healthy
Vegan
Chocolaty
Great breakfast, dessert or snack!
You need them! 😉
p.s. this will seem like a really thick batter but trust me that is what makes this so dense and delicious!
That’s all for now, I really hope you try them and let me know what you think! And if you’re not really into the whole “naturally sweetened/low sugar” thing then be sure to check out my Amazing Blueberry Muffins!

This is an AMAZING recipe!!! Thank you so much Michele !
I was looking for a recipe for my non-vegan friends, and they will love it! (I did not have maple syrup so I used brown sugar, and it was ok ;))
Thank you for sharing these precious recipes that make our life so much easier!
Cheers from Paris!

Looks like a great recipe, I can't wait to try it! Most of the vegan chocolate muffin recipes I find have avocado in them and I'm deathly allergic, so this one looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Hello!
I added gingerbread spice into the batter and instead of chocolate chips as I didn't have any on hand I sticked marshmallow into the center! Also I used 1/2 mashed banana instead of apple sauce and soy milk instead of almond milk as I can't eat nuts. Many substitutes but they worked perfectly fine!

Almost forgot - greatings from Poland! 🙂

Super pleased with the way they came out. Been baking a lot recently And I'm vegan so. A lot of times they didn't turn out. This came our perfect texture and taste. I did substitute the flour for regualr flour. I didn't have maple syrup or enough almond milk. So I used soy creamer ( I'm sure soy milk will work too) with lemon [ I curdled it on the stove and lemon) and I used 1/4 of brown sugar and instead of cocoa powder I had bakers cacao chocolate. Came out so good and now my casa smells like chocolate. A perfect surprise for my bf when he wakes up. I subsituted a lot but worked our great following the recieve reciepe.
