    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What is the key to making vegan chocolate chip muffins look like bakery style muffins?

    We decided to make these look like normal muffins; however, if you saw our  vegan blueberry muffins and want to make them tall with a fancier paper liner, just like at the bakery, then keep reading. 

    The key to get the taller, fluffier, perfect bakery style vegan chocolate chip muffins is using these tulip muffin liners.  They fit in a regular muffin tin, but help keep all the ingredients in, making them absolutely perfect. 

    Can these be Top 8 Allergen Friendly Double Chocolate Muffins?

    These vegan double chocolate muffins use wheat and dairy free milk.

    You can use any dairy free milk of choice, so just make sure it’s one that suits your allergens. 

    Also, you can make them with gluten free measure for measure flour.  This specific King Arthur gluten free flour is our favorite! 

    Can I make these into mini dairy free double chocolate muffins?

    You can absolutely make these mini dairy free chocolate chip muffins.  You just need to follow the directions and fill mini muffin tins instead of regular size. 

    Likewise, you could make extra large muffins with this recipe too. 

    For mini muffins you will reduce the cooking time and if you make larger muffins, you may need to increase the time.

    What are other vegan muffins ideas that I should try?

    Once you try these vegan chocolate chip muffins, you may want to learn what are some other options.  We gathered some ideas from our friends. All of these dairy free muffins listed below are vegan, so they are also egg free and many are gluten free. 

    • Vegan Blueberry Muffins
    • Vegan Banana Muffins
    • Maple Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Vegan Zucchini Muffins

      These muffins are delicious. My daughter brought some to school and her friends didn’t believe they were vegan. We’ll definitely be making them again.

      I made this recipe in a loaf pan. I added about 20 minutes to the 350’ bake time. Turned out awesome. Thank you for this delicious recipe. It’s so hard finding good vegan baked good recipes and yours is by far the best. Thank you!!! Even my non vegan family members enjoyed this loaf.

      The muffins are amazing. I’m a baker and your recipes are the best I’ve tried so far. I’ve been trying to find tasty and easy vegan baking recipes. My family didn’t even know that they were vegan. Thanks for sharing.

      So good. Happy to find baked goods without bananas. Muffins were chocolatey and moist but not too sweet. I used dark cocoa powder and chips.
