Vegan double chocolate mini muffins are a sweet treat that will become a family favorite! Perfect for packing in lunches!
How’s everyone doing with the time change? We’re doing okay, although Baby Bee seems to have dropped a nap, and is now down to just one very long nap at about noon. It’s taking a few days to adjust…and a bit more chocolate has been necessary.
I realized that I didn’t have a chocolate muffin recipe, so I played around a little and came up with these vegan double chocolate mini muffins.
I added some almond meal for a little extra nutrition, and of course these are egg free, but they don’t taste that way. If you can’t do almond meal, go ahead and add a little more oat flour.
These double chocolate mini muffins are so decadent, no one would ever guess they are vegan. That’s my goal with vegan treats…it’s fine with me that we don’t eat dairy or eggs, but I don’t want our treats to taste like they are lacking anything. If we are eating dessert, I want it to be a treat…if it can be healthier, that’s great, but I still want it to taste awesome.

Awesome and so chocolatey!
Johanna
Hi! Can I use coconut oil instead of 1/2 cup vegan buttery spread?
Thanks!
Kelly Roenicke
They might be fine, or they might be a little oily. You could reduce the amount of oil slightly and see how it goes!
Darlene
These look so good! What can I sub the almond flour for? I’m allergic to almonds but for some reason I can still have cashews! Would that work?
Kelly Roenicke
Cashew flour would work, or even just some gluten free flour or wheat flour if you don’t need to be gluten free.
Darlene Mate
Ok, thank you! I’ll go with the gluten-free flour.
