Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and get a muffin tin ready by greasing it or lining it with paper cups. In a large bowl, mix together the chocolate chips, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the soy milk, oil, applesauce, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir just until the batter comes together—don't overmix. Then, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter. Pop the tray in the oven and bake for around 20 to 25 minutes, checking with a toothpick to see if they’re done—it should come out clean when the muffins are ready. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
