Introduction

I am not vegan, trust me, and when my vegan coworker brought these in I was skeptical. But man are they delicious! I edited the recipe a little (using applesauce instead of oil and almond milk instead of hazelnut) so feel free to amend. It is also easy to make gluten free! Here is the original recipe: http://greenswampsoup.com/2011/02/vegan-ch

Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 C almond milk (or any other milk you prefer)
    1 tsp apple cider vinegar
    3/4 c sugar
    1/3 c apple sauce
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 tsp almond extract
    1 C all purpose flour
    1/3 c cocoa powder
    3/4 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions

Whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl, and set aside for a few minutes to curdle.

Add the sugar, apple sauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the almond milk mixture and beat until foamy.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Add in two batches to wet ingredients and beat until no large lumps remain (a few tiny lumps are OK).

Spray a muffin pan. Fill 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 350 F for 18-20 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy!

Serving Size: 12 muffins

    Incredible!

    These were fantastic! Super moist! They need to sit a while to cool so that they stay together (because they don't have the egg to hold it together). Kind of fudgy, like a brownie.

    Will bake (and eat) again!

    I was making vegan mayonaisse cake and it was too much for me to eat; this recipe is moist and delicous and less than half the calories of the cake. a keeper. - 7/22/16
