She Says: Chocolate Olive Oil Muffins

by Heather Wednesday, May 20, 2009

In the winter I baked with olive oil quite a bit and remember how delicious and unique the results were. Today I wanted to make some muffins, but was out of butter and any other oil, so I went back to baking with olive oil.

I modified Tina’s Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Muffins, which she created based on a recipe from Jenna.

Chocolate Olive Oil Muffins

You Need:

  • 2 flax eggs (2 T flax + 6 T water)
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 – 4 T of Soy Milk

Steps:

  1. In a small bowl combine the water and flax, stir and let sit for a few minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
  3. Add the olive oil and flax eggs and stir.
  4. The batter will be thick so add enough soy milk to make them a little thinner, but not too thin! Start with 1 T and add as needed.
  5. Bake in sprayed mini muffin pans for 12-15 minutes at 350*.

Makes 8 mini muffins, two of which I had as a snack this afternoon.

    Hey! I usually use olive oil in place of veggie oil because I usually don’t have veggie oil. Most recently I used olive oil in chocolate muffins with vanilla frosting. Very unique and fabulous tasting. I ate many (all of them) in only a few days. What? They were small (no).

  22. 23 Elina says:

    How were they? They look amazing!

  23. 24 Heather says:
