Instructions

Step 1

First, heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and get a muffin tin ready by greasing it or lining it with paper cups. In a large bowl, mix together the chocolate chips, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the soy milk, oil, applesauce, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir just until the batter comes together — don’t overmix. Scoop the batter into your muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let them cool for a bit before digging in!
