Never come empty handed with these Chocolate Chunk Muffins. They are vegan and can be made in only half an hour. Perfect to bring to spontaneous parties or get-togethers!
I'm that kind of girl that always brings food to parties and just loves to surprise friends, family or co-workers with homemade, vegan treats. But sometimes I don't have a lot of time and need recipes that go really, really quick and are easy to make. Muffins are in those cases one of best choices, because they bake much faster than cakes. And Chocolate Chunk Muffins are a classic - everyone loves these.
They are really easy and quick to make. While the oven preheats, simply whisk the dry and wet ingredients in one bowl (one-bowl-recipe!), pour them in the muffin tins (an ice cream scooper makes this super easy) and then bake them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. Easy as that.
If you want fruitier versions, you can sub the chocolate chunks with fruits like blueberries or raspberries, so this muffin recipe is very versatile. It's the perfect base recipe for all your muffin adventures! :)
Never-Come-Empty-Handed Chocolate Chunk Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- ⅔ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon coconut vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 360°F/180°C.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chunks), whisk, then add all the wet ingredients and whisk again until it's a smooth batter.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Fill the batter in muffin wrappers or use a lightly oiled muffin pan and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes. (Use the Toothpick Method to make sure the dough is done in the middle.)
- Let them cool off a bit before enjoying them!

Natalie says
Usually the part where you mentioned the option of fruitier versions would appeal to me, but these are just perfect in all their chocolate chunky glory! That inside shot looks so dang fluffy oh my goodness <3 <3
Bianca says
They really are super fluffy. I made them with raspberries too a few days ago but in winter I prefer chocolate-y version :D
The Vegan 8 says
Wow, these looks so perfect, big and fluffy! They look fantastic! I mean, seriously light and divine! I would easily eat an entire batch! And of course anything with chocolate chunks gets me excited!
Bianca says
Thank you so much, Brandi! They are super fluffy and I love that they are so quick to make.
Monica Vilardi says
They look delicious! I cannot wait to make these. Is there a substitute for coconut vinegar? I have never seen that before.
Bianca says
I prefer to use coconut vinegar in baked goods because it is very mild, but you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar :) Most asian markets do have coconut vinegar.
Becky says
These look fantastic!
alisamarie says
Bianca, those muffins are so insanely boisterous! Who says vegan baking is akin to hockey pucks? These look awesome!
Bianca says
Thank you so much Alisa! I know, right?! Vegan goods can be as delicious as "normal" food. No one ever noticed that these were actually vegan muffins if I'd haven't said it.
Jenn S. says
These WILL be happening in my kitchen! They look so super soft and fluffy...and hello...chocolate!!
Bianca says
Awesome! Let me know how they turn out for you, if you give them a try :)
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
I would like a dozen + 10 please :D
Bianca says
Coming right up! :)
Tiffany says
Those look amazing. Can you substitute apple cider vinegar if you don't have coconut vinegar?
Bianca says
You absolutely can. I just prefer coconut vinegar in baked goods because it's very mild :)
Sina @ Vegan Heaven says
These look amazing, Bianca! I could eat like 5 of these right now! :-) Love the chocolate chunks!!
Bianca says
Thank you so much Sina! I wish I'd have some left for breakfast now :D
Kyra says
I am definitely inviting you to my next party so you can bring me a batch of these :D I've always wanted to be the person who brings yummy treats to get-togethers but I've never felt confident enough to present vegan food to my non-vegan friends/family...maybe I should start with something like these muffins though. I can't imagine ANYONE not liking these!
Maryam says
Hii
These look so good.
Can you tell me substitute for coconut vinager and Almond milk?
Maryam
Bianca says
Hi Maryam, you can use apple cider vinegar instead of the coconut vinegar and any plant-based milk (cashew, oat, hemp, rice, soy, ..) instead of almond milk :)
Junaid Asghar says
Do you need the coconut vinegar?
Bianca says
I prefer coconut vinegar because it's very subtle.. but you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar. Don't leave out the vinegar completely because it reacts with the baking soda and makes the muffins pop up really nice :)
junaid asghar says
could you just use self raising flour instead of the all purpose flour and thus leave out the vinegar too?
Bianca says
To be honest, I haven't worked with self-raising flour because we don't have it here, but I thought self-raising flour is just regular flour with baking powder? But of course, you could try leaving out the vinegar, let me know how it goes if you do give it a try! :)
Samantha says
My daughter just made these for the first time. They came out of the oven very pale, not nice and golden like your picture. They are done so don't want to cook them any longer. Any suggestions for next time?
Bianca says
Hi Samantha,
so I'm assuming the recipe was exactly followed (same flour, use of oil), you could place them a bit higher up in the oven, so it gets more heat from above. Then they should turn out just as golden. Hope that helps! :)
Yaneth says
Bianca, I've made these a couple times doubling the recipe and they didn't come out fluffy like in the picture, They come out a bit dense. Do you know what I could be doing wrong?
Bianca says
Hey Yaneth, try adding a bit more baking powder and baking soda next time. This should help giving the muffins more volume and fluffyiness. Let me know how it goes :)
