Chocolate Chip Vegan Muffins

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 25th of July 2022

What could be better than a chocolate chip muffin?  A batch of them!  With this in mind, let us make a whole batch of lovely light vegan chocolate chip muffins.  This is very easy and requires no special ingredients.  


Notes

  • Use cases or your muffins will stick to the muffin tin and ruin them.  You have been warned! 
  • Use oil to stop the muffin sticking to the cases. Either use spray oil or coat the insides using a pastry brush. 
  • Place a tin of water on the shelf under the shelf with the muffins on.  This is also to stop the muffins sticking to the cases. 
  • You can, if you want, use half water (70 ml) and half vegan milk (70 ml). Some people feel it changes the texture and prefer it.
  • Once out of the oven, place on a cooling rack.  This will help the muffin not to stick to the case too.

Ingredients

  • 150 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp of salt
  • 20 g cocoa powder (about 2 – 3 tbsp)
  • 1/4 cup of sugar

Wet ingredients 

  • 140 of warm water
  • 50 g vegan chocolate chips
  • 40 ml light olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190C.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.

  3. Mix in the wet ingredients and stir to combine a few times.

  4. Don’t over mix or the muffins will go a little too firm

  5. Add the chocolate chip and carefully fold them into the batter.

  6. Add the case to the muffin tin and fill each one with batter.

  7. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.  Use a cake tester.  If the tester comes out clean, the muffins are done.  

  8. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.

Results

These were great with a super chocolate flavour.  As you can see, the muffins have risen really well although they did stick to the case a bit.  I used oil to line the cases in the next batch and placed a tin of water under the shelf with the muffins on in the oven, but it never made much difference.  However, the muffins still tasted fine.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.
