Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
Wet ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened plant milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (or ⅓ cup applesauce)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Additions:
- ¼ cup PLUS 2 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes, divided
- ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life's semi-sweet mini chips)
- ½ cup dried goji berries, softened (soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain)
Instructions
- In a small bowl soak the goji berries in warm water.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and lightly oil a 12 cup muffin pan.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl combine the milk, sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla and vinegar. Whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry, and stir until just combined, with no visible dry flour.
- Fold in the coconut flakes (¼ cup), chocolate chips and drained goji berries.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin pan, and sprinkle the tops with coconut.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, inserting a toothpick in the center of one muffin to test for crumbs/doneness. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
