How to Make Vegan Chocolate Walnut Muffins

These muffins are quite chocolatey, with a rich flavor and moist texture. These are great and much more satisfying than your average muffin—and that's all that really matters.

Edit Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour


• ¼ cup cocoa powder


• ½ tsp baking soda


• ½ tsp baking powder


• ½ tsp salt


• ½ cup maple syrup


• ¾ cup vanilla soy milk (or plain, with ½ tsp vanilla added)


• 2 tbsp vegetable oil


• ½ cup chopped walnuts, plus 8 walnut halves to decorate

Edit Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Grease 8 muffin cups in a baking tin.


2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.


3. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy milk and vegetable oil.


4. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir then with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes smooth.


5. Add the chopped walnuts and mix to blend them into the batter. Do not over-mix, but try not to have any pockets of dry ingredients left in the batter.


6. Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tins, filling each 2/3 full.


7. Garnish each muffin with a walnut half.


8. Bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly pressed.


9. Cool the muffins on a wire rack.


10. You can either serve them warm, or cool them completely and store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
