Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Brewed coffee (cooled)
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips (vegan)
• 0.5 cups Chopped almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 2-3 minutes until slightly curdled.

Step 4

Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped almonds gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your vegan mocha almond muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
