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.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
