Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins

When the weather starts cooling down, I immediately get into the mood for baking. As someone who didn’t cook much or bake at all growing up, I feel as if I have a lot of catching up to do. And I can tell you that Dr. Miller and our family and friends do not mind the influx of baked treats that happen around this time of year.

Watching shows like the Great British Bake Off can almost be discouraging to some plant-based families, due to the fact that it seems that every dish contains, egg or milk, and is inevitably full of multiple sticks of butter! But I am here to tell you that whole food plant-based baking is not only possible but extremely easy and enjoyable once you get the hang of it. It can be a bit tricky trying to make a vegan and oil-free version of many classic baked goods, but with a little researching and plant-based ingenuity, almost anything is possible! My chocolate chip muffins are the latest recipe in my series on holiday recipes.

I hope they are a hit if they make it on to your dining room table this holiday season. If you go ahead and give this recipe a try, let me know what you think and share a picture on my Instagram and Facebook page of how it turned out for you.
