Working in NYC for more than half of my life I’ve become accustomed to their baked goods. Like Jumbo Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins. The muffins in NY are incredible, they’re fluffy, moist, and filled with melty chocolate chips in every bite. It use to be my go to breakfast every morning before work. I was also in my 20’s so eating muffins on the regular didn’t really phase me. I always loved carbs.
Anyway, I made these vegan, yes that’s correct, no animal products in this baby and yet the taste and texture are that of my fave muffins in NY. Go freakin’ figure.
So for these instead of using a standard muffin tin, I used a jumbo 6 muffin cup tin. They come out perfect. But if you don’t have a jumbo pan not to worry, you can make these in the standard and they will still come out ultra delish.
I typically make these on Saturday mornings to go along with our brunch theme and they last till about Sunday. My son absolutely loves them but he only gets through like half of one and is all stuffed to the brim. They’re almost as big as his head, lol, not really but they are enormous.
You can also sub out the chocolate chips for blueberries! Those are spectacular too. With those I like to add on an top a little sugary dusting. But really I think for me it’s just the knowing I’m eating a jumbo muffin and I don’t ever really feel bad about it. Like ever.
Sometimes muffins can be dry, like hard to get down dry, but these are super moist. Not like hasn’t been baked all the way moist, more like perfect moist. I even like to spread a little vegan butter on them. (Because I basically love butter on anything)
Pair them with some almond milk or a nice cup of joe or tea and you’ll be all set. You’re going to bite into them thinking “Er ma gawd, I need more!” happens to me every time. I mean muffins are basically life.
Not to mention these are like baking 101 easy to make. You don’t need genius baking skills to whip these up and still have them be impressive. It’s two bowls, no crazy kitchen appliances and takes 5 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to bake. Can you even deal with that?!
These will last you a good 5 days if you even have any leftover. I store mine in an air tight container outside of the fridge but you can keep them in the fridge if you prefer. They never lasted that long where I guess I would need to put them in the fridge either. I mean, you’ll see what I’m talking about once you make these. When I showed this on my Instagram stories peeps went nuts over them so now that they’re finally here, let’s not waste any time and get this muffin party started.
