Fun Fact about me: While I LOVE chocolate more than anything on earth

I do not love too much chocolate in my chocolate chip muffins and cookies
So while the measurement below recommends 1¼ cups of chocolate chips I only put half that amount

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients  

  • ¾ cup Plant Milk 177ml
  • 2 teaspoons Vinegar 10ml
  • ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Tbs Melted Vegan Butter 56g
  • 4 Tbs Vegetable Oil 60ml
  • cups All Purpose Flour 345g
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar 150g
  • teaspoons Baking Soda
  • teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom *optional
  • cups Chocolate Chips

For the Streusel:

  • ½ cup All Purpose Flour 62g
  • teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 6 Tbs Light Brown Sugar 90g
  • 3 Tbs COLD vegan butter 42g

Instructions 

  • First make the streusel topping by combing the flour, brown sugar & cinnamon in a mixing bowl then add the cold diced vegan butter & mix by hand of with a pastry cutter or fork just until it resembles coarse meal.

  • Sprinkle the streusel onto a parchment lined sheet pan breaking up any large chunks to the size of peas It is best to freeze before adding to the muffins so I usually make this part first

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F then line your muffin tray with paper liners.

  • First add the vinegar to the plant milk (soy milk is my choice & the only plant milk that will thicken like buttermilk) add the extracts as well

  • Now in a large mixing bowl combine the flour with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cardamom & whisk together to incorporate well

  • Melt the vegan butter & then combine with the oil & pour both into the flour mixture in the bowl along with the thickened plant milk

  • Whisk to a smooth batter. The batter will not be liquid it will actually be very tight~ this is OK

  • Add the chocolate chips & fold into the batter

  • Scoop into the prepared muffin tins filling 3/4 to the top then add 1-2 Tbs of frozen streusel to the tops of each one

  • Bake approximately 30-35 minutes for the jumbo muffins [about 25 minutes for the standard sized muffins] turning the oven temperature down to 350F after the first 10 minutes of baking

  • Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving
