Amazing Double choc Chai Muffins :0

I've been making vegan muffins like crazy recently, trying to work out some good recipes to share. I developed this one using this recipe as the base.

Ingredients:

- 2 Cups of your preferred Gluten-free Self raising flour (I use Orgran)

- 1 Cup of Organic Raw sugar

- 1/4 Cup of Cocoa powder

- 1 tsp of Baking powder

- 1/2 tsp of salt

- 1/4 cup Vegan chocolate chips

- A few Walnuts - Roughly chopped (optional)

- 1.5 Cups of Boiling water

- 3-4 Organic Chai teabags

- 1/3 Cup of Canola oil

- 1 tsp of Vanilla essence

- 2 tsp Apple cider vinegar

- Nuttelex for greasing (Any vegan margarine will do)

Method:

1. Put the teabags into a heat safe bowl or jug & add the boiling water. Stir well & allow the tea to brew until the water becomes luke warm.

2. Preheat the oven to 170 ºC (338 ºF) on fan bake. Lightly grease the muffin tray & set aside.

3. Add all the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl, & stir until mixed.

4. Measure the oil, then add the vanilla essence & apple cider vinegar.

5. Once the tea has brewed, remove the tea bags, & add all the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, & mix until combined.
6. Pour the mix out into the muffin tray, & bake for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, allow the muffins to rest in the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

These muffins are fairly heavy, but somehow still fluffy too, & they have a nice spring to them :) I plan to keep on experimenting, I haven't tried using egg replacer yet, so it'll be interesting to see how that works out. These keep well for a couple of days, but they're best fresh, so spread the vegan love & share them around ;)

I hope you all like them, enjoy!

The deliciously squishy insides...
