We love these almond milk chocolate chip muffins because they use almost half the amount of sugar as many other recipes.
Because of the sweetness that the chocolate chips adds, you can safely reduce the sugar without worrying that they'll taste bland.
I use milk chocolate chips, but you can use semi-sweet, dark chocolate, or mini chocolate chips too.
This recipe also uses unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk, which is fewer in calories and free of saturated fat and lactose.
Yes! Use almond milk to replace dairy milk in any muffin recipe. It is a 1:1 substitution.
Yes, you can make muffins without using eggs by using flax "eggs". You can read the full directions for making flax eggs here.
Flax eggs work the same way as regular eggs do when baking— they add moisture and structure.
🔪 Instructions
It's super easy to make almond milk chocolate chip muffins. It requires one bowl, a muffin tin, and a whisk or fork to mix the ingredients with. How's that for easy clean up?
First, set your oven to 375 degrees and spray a 12 muffin cup tin with oil (or grease with butter). While the oven's heating, combine the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Now, make a hole in the center and add the eggs, beating lightly to combine the whites with the yolks.
Add the almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix for about 1 minute, until everything is just combined. Be careful to never over mix muffins! If you do, you may get tough, uneven, or peaked top muffins.
Now fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the muffin tin, and bake for 20 minutes. Don't be afraid to fill the muffin cups to the top! You'll get nice high and rounded tops that looks like they came straight from the bakery.
If making mini-muffins, reduce the time to 12-15 minutes. For jumbo muffins, check them at 25 minutes.
One bowl, one pan, 25 minutes, and a tasty almond milk chocolate chip muffin treat.
Enjoy!

🍲 Storing
Almond milk chocolate chip muffins will keep well in a sealed Tupperware for 2-3 days.
They freeze extremely well for about 6 months. Just wrap them in a few layers of plastic wrap or seal in a freezer bag.
They defrost pretty quickly, too. Pop them out of the freezer at least an hour before you want to enjoy them.
