The EASIEST Vegan Chocolate Muffins
These vegan chocolate muffins combine cocoa powder and chunks of dark chocolate with simple ingredients like flour, brown sugar, olive oil, and water to create moist, rich muffins. The absence of eggs and dairy keeps the texture tender yet sufficiently structured, making them suitable for vegan diets. Chocolate chunks add bursts of melted richness inside each muffin, making them enjoyable as snacks or breakfast treats.

Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- sea salt optional, flake form, pinch
- 40 g cocoa powder (about 5-6 tbsp)
- 40 ml olive oil light
- 110 g brown sugar
- 200 ml water
- 30 g dark chocolate chopped into 6 small chunks, vegan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 360°F and arrange a baking rack into the middle shelf.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then add a pinch of sea salt if you like.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl with the flour.
- Add in the brown sugar, the pour the olive oil into the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients gently with a whisk, then slowly incorporate the water and continue to mix until all the ingredients are just combined and your have a smooth lump-free batter.
- Divide the batter among a muffin tin greased with a little extra oil (I don't use paper liners, but if you do, you can skip the greasing step), filling each mould by half. Place a small chunk of vegan dark chocolate into the center of each mould, then pour the remaining batter on top until filling ¾ of the mould. You can also omit the chocolate chunks and simply fill ¾ of each mould with the batter.
- Bakein the oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the tin from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then remove the muffins and serve at room temperature. Store leftovers into an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes

- Use vegan dark chocolate chunks for rich melting pockets inside the muffins.
