Perfect Dairy Free (Or Not) Chocolate Chip Muffins
I made these muffins a few weeks ago when I was desperate for new breakfast ideas. Confession 1… we have made them twice a week since then. Confession 2… we have eaten them for snack, dinner and every other meal including breakfast. My kids go crazy over these and stare longingly into the oven as they bake. I was unsure how they would do as a dairy free recipe, but they were honestly just as good as the original recipe. They are easy to assemble, bake up perfectly, and are filled with gooey chocolate chips. Could there be anything better? If you asked my kids they’d say, NOPE!
The recipe is adapted from thestayathomechef.com and I think the adjusted cooking time is the reason these are the best homemade muffins. Adjusting the heat settings during baking give the muffins a crunchy exterior and soft inside.

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to let you know I loved these muffins! I made them yesterday and they turned out perfectly. It’s so hard to find a simple dairy free muffin recipe so thanks for this one!
