Vegan Classic Chocolate Chip Muffins

These bakery-style muffins puff up into tall, golden domes with crackly tops and pockets of melted chocolate in every bite. A simple batter of flour, sugar, and vanilla comes together in minutes, with a hit of baking powder and baking soda giving that classic high-rise shape. The two-temperature bake — a hot blast first, then a gentler finish — is what creates that bakery-case crust while keeping the inside soft and tender. Chocolate chips get folded through the batter and scattered on top before baking, so every muffin is loaded edge to edge. They cool just enough to hold together while the chocolate stays melty, making them ideal for a lazy weekend morning or an afternoon treat with coffee. This one's a solid pick for a vegan baking rotation, no fuss required.

2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
2 large eggs
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
1 cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well with butter or nonstick spray.
