But I look forward to Fall. I will always love the bulky comfy sweaters, jeans and boots, changing leaves, apple picking and pumpkins! I know I have to enjoy warm Summer days first, but these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins will get you in the Fall spirit in no time. They are perfect for breakfast with a nice cup of Joe or to make your kid's lunch box more interesting. Put these muffins in for a healthy, homemade snack.

Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Muffins

These Chocolate Strawberry Muffins will undoubtedly steal the hearts of vegans and non-vegans alike. Chocolate and strawberries aren't a classic pairing for no reason.

These Chocolate Strawberry Muffins are loaded with two kinds of chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips. The final muffin has that squidgy, almost brownie-like texture.

However, the full cup of fresh strawberries is what makes this such an awesome recipe. The richness of chocolate, together with delicate pureed strawberries, explodes in the mouth. Due to all the fruit baked right into these goodies, they are super moist, sans any oil.

Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Muffins

• 1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• 1 banana, mashed
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine pureed strawberries, mashed bananas, and applesauce. Mix in raw sugar, non-dairy milk, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fill paper liners evenly. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of muffins comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy! 🙂
