Notes
- Store in airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
- These freeze well too! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I just reheat for 30 seconds in the microwave whenever I am craving one.
- Whole wheat flour: If you do not have whole wheat flour, you can replace with the same amount of all purpose flour.
- Oil: Use any cooking oil you like - I have made these muffins with both canola oil and olive oil with good results.
- Milk: Use any non-dairy milk that you like. I prefer soy milk but almond milk, oat milk or other plant-based milks also work.
- Feel free to add nuts in this recipe as well! You could use in place of the chocolate chips or in addition. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or slivered almonds).
