QUICK BAKING TIPS
- Measure the ingredients correctly. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Preheat the oven at least 15 minutes before getting started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature.
- Donāt overmix the batter. Instead, mix just until youāve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter.
- Bake the muffins as soon as the batter is ready.Ā
- Don’t open the oven door until the muffins have set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time stated in the recipe.
- Every oven is different, so baking times always have to be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, and that will all affect baking time, so keep an eye on yours. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Ā
STORING AND FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
STORING: Your muffins will keep covered and at room temperature for three to four days, then you can transfer them to the refrigerator for up to one more week.
FREEZING: Muffins can also be frozen for up to three months. A great way to have muffins whenever you want!
After the muffins have cooled completely, wrap them in plastic wrap and then with foil. Place the double-wrapped muffins in a freezer bag, and donāt forget to label them! Thaw frozen muffins in the refrigerator and then bring to room temperature or warm up in the microwave or a 300Ā°F oven for 4-5 minutes if desired.

Eggless Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups 420 g all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 200 g chocolate chips or chunks
- 5 tablespoons 70 g unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup 80 ml vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups 360 ml buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon 5 ml apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon 5 ml pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ĀŗF (220ĀŗC). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick baking spray or line with cupcake liners. You can also use a jumbo 6-count muffin pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix to coat with the flour mixture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, oil, sugar, buttermilk, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix everything together by hand. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and a little lumpy.
- Fill the muffin cups right to the top. Optional: sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350ĀŗF (180ĀŗC) and continue baking until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, another 20 to 23 minutes. NOTE: for jumbo muffins (no regular), bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until domed and golden brown.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
- Measure the ingredients correctly. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Preheat the oven at least 15 minutes before getting started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature.
- Donāt overmix the batter. Mix just until youāve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter.
- Bake the muffins as soon as the batter is ready.
- Bake to 425Āŗ F (218Āŗ C) for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350ĀŗF (180ĀŗC). This initial high oven temperature will help to quickly lift up the muffin top.
- Don’t open the oven door until the muffins have set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time stated in the recipe.
- Every oven is different, so baking times always have to be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, and that will all affect baking time, so keep an eye on yours. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

I made half the recipe for a quick breakfast. They didnāt puff up like I was hoping/expecting but they were very delicious! Adding this recipe to my egg-free repertoire! Thanks!
Hello Ttd786! Baking is always tricky, and baking without eggs is even more. So I recommend you to read my Beginnerās Guide to Eggless Baking and my FAQs section. There you will find some clues about what could have happened. Thanks for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know.
So mine came out just a smidge too dense! I think thatās from over mixing. I also would maybe add more chocolate chips for my own personal enjoyment of chocolate š but other than that. I will be making these again!! Heating them up with butter is making me want to go to bed early to wake up and have this for breakfast š
Hello Nina! So glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know!
Such a wonderful recipe. Best cupcake recipe I’ve come across. I made this recipe gluten free and completely vegan by using the following ingredients:
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups (420g) rice flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (200g) chocolate chips
5 tablespoons (70g) vegan butter
1/3 cup (80ml) coconut oil
1/2 cup (100g) caster sugar
1 1/2 cups (360ml) soy milk with 1 tsp (5ml) apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
The method I followed was exactly the same as the recipe.
It’s important to use less sugar if making it gluten free due to the fact that gluten free baked good tend to come out sweeter than the same non gluten free baked goods.
Thanks for your incredible recipes. They color in my life and they are all so wonderful.
Hello Tayy! It sounds like you nailed it! I am very thankful for the feedback, and sure it will be helpful to many people. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know.
Easy and versatile recipe. The base isnāt too sweet, which allows for the chocolate to come through. I made this with Ghirardelli semi-sweet chips and the results were amazing. Fluffy and crisped right out of the oven. Most of the ingredients are readily available at home. Iām going to swap out the chips for fruit and other options. Another great eggless recipe from Oriana!
