Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 muffins
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (see note)
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup firmly packed vegan brown sugar or cane sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweetened dairy-free milk beverage
  • 2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 6-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Put the flour, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a dry whisk to combine. Add the brown sugar and stir with the whisk to combine.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the milk beverage and lemon juice. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Mound the mixture into the prepared muffin cups.
  5. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Put the muffin tin on a wire rack and let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator, leftover muffins will keep for about 2 days.
Notes
Chef’s Note: You may use regular whole wheat flour in this recipe. The muffins will be a bit more dense in texture.
