Vegan Whole Wheat Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins
Servings 6 muffins
Ingredients
- 1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (see note)
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup vegan brown sugar or cane sugar, firmly packed
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons lightly sweetened milkadamia milk

- ½ cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 6-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- Put the flour, coconut, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and stir with a dry whisk to combine.

- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the nondairy milk and the lemon juice.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Mound the mixture into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.

- Covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator, leftover muffins will keep for about 2 days.
Chef’s note: You may use regular whole wheat flour in this recipe. The muffins will be a bit more dense in texture.
