Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins

Necessary ingredients:

- 250 ml soy milk (we recommend Alpro-Soya for excellent taste)
- 150 g sugar
- 30 g oil (sunflower oil is ideal for a neutral flavor)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa (quality cocoa will enhance the flavor)
- 1 pinch of baking soda (quenched with a little lemon juice)
- 200 g flour (you can also use whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
- Small pieces of dark chocolate (we recommend the Galactic vegan version)
- Vanilla essence (for an extra flavor boost)

Preparation:

1. Heating the wet ingredients:
In a large bowl, pour the soy milk and add the sugar. Mix well with a spatula or whisk until the sugar completely dissolves. This is when the flavors start to reveal themselves!

2. Adding the oil and vanilla:
Add the oil and vanilla essence to the milk mixture. These ingredients will provide a smoother texture to your muffins. Mix again to combine the ingredients.

3. Activating the baking soda:
Quench the baking soda with a little lemon juice and add it to the bowl. This step is essential for fluffy muffins, so don’t skip it!

4. Adding the dry ingredients:
Sift the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and cocoa into another bowl. This will help avoid unpleasant lumps. Start incorporating the dry mixture into the wet one, mixing with gentle up-and-down motions to keep the air in the batter.

5. Incorporating the chocolate:
When the batter becomes homogeneous, add the chocolate pieces. They will melt during baking and add a burst of flavor to each bite.

6. Filling the molds:
Use a spoon to pour the batter into the muffin molds. If you choose disposable aluminum molds, there’s no need to line them with paper or flour. Fill each mold about 2/3 full to allow the muffins to rise evenly.

7. Baking the muffins:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the muffin molds in the baking tray and bake for 25 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test (when the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are ready).

8. Cooling and serving:
After baking, let the muffins cool in the molds for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the molds by gently pulling at the sides. These muffins are delicious both warm and at room temperature.

Practical tips and tricks:

- Aerating the ingredients: Sifting the flour and other dry ingredients not only helps avoid lumps but also achieves a fluffier texture.

- Chocolate variations: You can experiment with different types of chocolate (vegan white chocolate, dark chocolate) or even enrich the batter with nuts, hazelnuts, or raisins for added texture and flavor.

- Storing the muffins: These muffins store well in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them to enjoy later!

Nutritional benefits:
These chocolate muffins are not only delicious but also vegan, making them suitable for a fasting diet. Soy milk is a good source of plant-based protein and contains no cholesterol, while cocoa is rich in antioxidants.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I substitute soy milk with another type of plant milk?
Yes, you can use almond, rice, or coconut milk, but make sure to choose an unsweetened version to better control the flavor of the muffins.

- What can I do if I don’t have cornstarch?
You can replace cornstarch with potato flour or another thickening agent, but keep in mind that the final texture may change slightly.

Serving suggestions:
These muffins pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea, but you can also enjoy them with caramel sauce or a fruit sorbet for a decadent dessert.

Delicious variations:
To add a touch of creativity, you can try adding flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter, giving an interesting twist to each bite.
