Vegan Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins

November 28, 2017

I’m a muffin lover and will attempt to turn anything into muffin form since muffins are easy to pack and go. These make a great take along for any party or picnic, and they’re nutritious to boot! If you wish to make them non-vegan, use egg and dairy in place of the chia and non-dairy. If white flour is the only flour on hand, use 2 cups total of that in place of the other flours. Anything goes! Nuts aren’t included in the following recipe, but they make an excellent addition. My youngest, who is not a fan of nuts, will tell you I always say that. Actually, I probably do! These are delicious with some chopped pecans folded in. Then again, what isn’t? 😉
