Absolutely the Best Chocolate Chip Muffins!!
1 3/4 cups all purpose, unbleached flour
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons egg substitute (I use EnerG egg)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup + 2 1/2 tablespoons nondairy milk (I use original or vanilla soy)
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter (I use Smart Balance Light)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, egg replacer and salt in a large bowl (wait to mix in the chocolate chips). Mix together thoroughly.
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract (wait to mix in the vinegar).
3. Now combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture and stir well. Next, mix in the apple cider vinegar and then quickly mix in the chocolate chips and immediately pour the batter into the muffin tin and bake 30 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I just made these and they are very good. They're not at all heavy like some egg-free recipes. The only change I made was to substitute prune puree for half of the butter because I try to make things lower in fat. And I took the advice of another commentor and used white vinegar instead of ACV. The milk I used was almond breeze. Very tasty, light and golden brown on top! Believe me, nobody will know that these are egg and dairy free!
I made these yesterday and they actually taste EXACTLY like store bought nonvegan ones, I made some changes though.
Cake flour instead of all purpose.
1/2 white sugar 1/2 brown sugar.
Minused 1 1/2 tbsp of melted butter.
They were amazing.
I might try making them with apple sauce today and see if it makes them more moist. NOT THAT THEY ARENT MOIST haaha.
Do you need to mix the Energ Egg with water first? Like the box says? Or is it used dry? Thank you in advance.
Nope no need for mixing the powder with water! just put it with the dry :)

Ok, so I gave the peanut butter-chocolate chip muffins a try, and they turned out GREAT! I made them the way I did before, except I omitted all of the margarine and used 3/4 cup natural, creamy peanut butter instead and used 2 tsps vanilla extract. It ended up needing a LOT more soymilk (at least 1/4 cup?). They came out delicious and beautiful! If you want a really pronounced peanut butter flavor, you may want to use 1 cup of peanut butter, although 3/4 cup works well. If FettOlsiris sees this, I would like to know if it is ok with you if I post this as a separate recipe (with props to you, of course)?
Tried this the way you explained and it turned out great! Made it in a bread pan though. No muffin tin at my house... ;)
Thanks for the orig recipe FettOlsiris - and thanks for the extra ideas, uhblondie!
I just made these again but used white vinegar this time. They were wonderful before, but I like this batch even more; the apple cider vinegar does add a slight metallic sort of taste that the muffins are better without.
These totally hit the spot. YUM. I have no shame; all twelve muffins are gone already, and I only baked them last night. If I get fat, it's your fault.
Yum yum :). I replaced the margarine with apple sauce and they turned out pretty good!! I might try a mixture next time though :) :). I wonder what healthy alternative I can replace sugar with ;) ;).
These were really good! The bottom burned a little bit but I think that has more to do with my super old muffin pan. The outside is nice and stiff while the inside is light and fluffy.
I had a mini-panic when I read that the vinegar works with the soda to help with rising because the recipe calls for baking powder, not baking soda! Is there baking soda in the egg replacer?
Baking powder actually has baking soda in it, as well as other leavening ingredients :3
