Decadent Vegan Chocolate Muffins: A Sweet, Dairy-Free Indulgence

Craving a sweet treat that’s both indulgent and vegan? These vegan chocolate muffins are the perfect solution! Packed with rich cocoa and studded with melty dark chocolate chips, they offer a decadent dessert or snack that everyone will love.

Whether you are vegan or just looking for a dairy-free option, these muffins are easy to make and sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings. Ready to bake a batch of moist, chocolatey goodness in just 40 minutes? Let’s get started!

For the perfect vegan twist, I used chia eggs instead of traditional eggs. This simple substitute not only works wonders in vegan baking but also adds a boost of fiber and omega-3s, making these muffins even more nutritious!

Muffins are always popular so I made a batch of these just before half-term for a cake sale and they sold out really quickly! Another batch made great snacks for our walks around Devon during half-term.

I used If You Care – Large Baking Cups made from unbleached totally chlorine-free (TCF) greaseproof FSC paper. They are totally chlorine-free, so no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are dumped into our lakes, rivers and streams. They are also fully compostable at home or in commercial or municipal composting facilities.

I hope you enjoy these vegan chocolate muffins as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
