Vegan Chocolate Muffins

| Healthy Lunchbox, After School Snacks, Baked Sweets

These easy to make delicious Vegan Chocolate Muffins have been developed by request from a Well Nourished Family member. My kids have been very happy with the testing of these. My son even complained when I’d finished testing saying I had to promise I would come back to them.

Perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, parties or any other time that calls for a sweet treat, these are quick to prepare and use all common pantry ingredients.

Health benefits

These vegan muffins are a treat that’s also relatively nutritious, offering fibre from the spelt flour and coconut sugar, which has a lower glycemic index compared to regular sugar. The cacao powder is packed with antioxidants, and the addition of coconut oil provides healthy fats, making these muffins a better alternative to most bakery-style muffins.

Ingredients

The ingredients for this vegan muffin recipe include your choice of plant based milk (almond milk, oat milk, soy milk or cow if you are not vegan), apple cider vinegar, white spelt flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder), bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), baking powder, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and hot water or coffee. The coffee adds a ‘richer’ chocolate flavour profile if making for adults.

How to make these vegan chocolate muffins

Preheat the oven and line a muffin tray with cases. In a jug, mix the milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add the oil and vanilla to the milk mixture and pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Add hot water or coffee and stir or whisk until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan lined with muffin cases and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. You don’t want to overcook these as they can start to crumble. Have a look at the 15-minute mark, then check again every minute or so until they’re just right.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Enjoy warm from the oven or once cooled. These muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be refrigerated for a longer shelf life. They can also be stored in the freezer for up to a month.

Vary these Vegan chocolate muffins to suit your dietary needs

For a gluten-free version, replace the spelt flour with an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend or almond meal mixed with arrowroot or tapioca flour. To make them extra indulgent vegan double chocolate muffins, fold in dairy-free dark chocolate chips or add a square of chocolate on top before baking.

You can also make this into a whole vegan chocolate cake if you prefer. You will need to bake for 5-10 minutes longer or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Vegan Chocolate Muffins

These Vegan Chocolate Muffins are quick and easy to make and super delicious!
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Snack
Servings: 10 muffins
Author: Georgia Harding

Ingredients

  • 120 ml milk (of choice) (½ cup)
  • 1½ tbsp apple cider vinegar – or any vinegar
  • 180 g white spelt flour (1½ cups)
  • 120 g coconut sugar (⅔ cup)
  • 40 g cacao powder (½ cup)
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 80 g coconut oil (⅓ cup) melted (or macadamia nut oil)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla essence
  • 120 ml hot water – or hot coffee for an adult twist
Metric – US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (fan-forced) and line a muffin tray with patty cases or baking paper.
  • In a small jug, mix the milk and apple cider vinegar and allow to sit while you mix the dry ingredients. If you're using a Thermomix 5 seconds, speed 5.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder, bicarb and baking powder. Whisk together until there are no lumpy bits. (I usually just sit a regular mixing bowl on the Thermomix to weigh the dry ingredients).
  • Add the oil and vanilla to the milk and mix, then pour over the dry.
  • Add the hot water (or hot coffee) and then whisk to just combine. If you're using a Thermomix 10 seconds, speed 3 (scraping the sides).
  • Spoon into patty cases or the lined muffin tray.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • To avoid crumbling, it’s important not to overcook them. Check at 15 minutes, then continue checking every minute or two until they’re just cooked through.
  • Cool on a wire cooling rack.

Tip

  • If you’re out of muffin cases you can make your own parchment paper liners. Cut 15cm x 15cm squares of parchment paper. Place the paper over an upside-down cup and create a fold at four corners to create a ‘tulip’ shaped muffin case. Press on the base to create a good crease and then place it into your muffin tin. Repeat until the number of desired muffin cases are created – quick and inexpensive!

Ice them

  • THIS chocolate mousse also makes a fabulous chocolate ganache for icing cakes, either just the mousse part or also drizzled with the raspberry sauce. 

Notes

Gluten-free

Replace with an all-purpose gluten-free flour or almond meal plus 2 tbs of arrowroot or tapioca flour. If the mixture is stiff (I find this with some GF pre-mix flours) add 30-40ml more hot water.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins

Fold in chocolate buttons or pieces (regular or dairy-free if required) or even pop a square of chocolate on top.

Creamy Kale Sweet Potato Soup

| Budget Friendly, 30 Minute Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Freezable Meals, Vegetarian, Soups

This Creamy Kale Sweet Potato Soup is a deliciously hearty soup that will warm and comfort the body. Made from simple ingredients, the combination of anti-inflammatory spices, collagen and protein-rich bone broth will nourish your gut. Nutrient dense and fibre-packed from the lentils, nuts and vegetables, it’s a super soup for sure. 

For all you need to know about bone broth and how to make it click here. I love having broth ready in my fridge or freezer so that I can whip up a nourishing soup any time it is needed.

Health benefits

This soup is full of nutrient-dense ingredients that support overall well-being. Sweet potatoes are high in fibre and beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A for immune and skin health. Kale is rich in vitamins K, C, and antioxidants, while red lentils add plant-based protein and fiber, supporting digestion. Coconut milk provides healthy fats for energy and satiety, and ginger, garlic, and turmeric contribute anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

A base of onion, cloves garlic, and ginger is sautéed in coconut or olive oil before adding diced sweet potato and warming spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Red lentils and veg or chicken broth simmer together until tender, and kale is gently wilted in the coconut milk. A touch of lemon juice brightens the flavours, while toasted cashews, coriander leaves, and chilli flakes add texture and extra depth.

How to make this creamy kale sweet potato soup

To make this sweet potato kale soup, start by sautéing the onion in a large pot until softened, then add garlic, ginger, and spices. Next, add the sweet potatoes, lentils, and broth, simmering until everything is tender. Stir in the lemon zest, kale, and coconut milk, letting the greens wilt. Finally, add the lemon juice, taste, and adjust the seasoning. If a smooth texture is preferred, blend until creamy.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Serve this dairy free soup in a bowl with a sprinkle of toasted cashews, fresh coriander, and chilli flakes for added flavour and crunch. It pairs beautifully with sourdough flatbread or a hearty grain like quinoa. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for longer-term storage. Reheat gently over low heat to maintain its creamy texture.

Vary this creamy kale sweet potato soup to suit your dietary needs

For a nut-free version, swap cashews for pumpkin seeds. To keep it vegan, use vegetable stock instead of bone broth. If a smoother texture is preferred, blend the soup completely for a creamy consistency—ideal for kids or those who prefer a velvety soup.

This Creamy Kale Sweet Potato Soup is a deliciously hearty soup that will warm and truly nourish, made from nutritious simple ingredients.

Healthy Pad Thai

| Budget Friendly, 30 Minute Meals, Pasta and Noodles, Chicken, Vegetarian

This healthy Pad Thai takes me back to one of my favorite travel memories when my hubby and I backpacked through Southeast Asia, including Thailand. One of our favorite street carts was on Khaosan Road in Bangkok, and it had the most incredible Pad Thai. It took me many years to perfect this recipe, so it’s as good as the one we often reminisce about.

I’ve deliberately combined flavors from easy-to-find supermarket ingredients to make the Pad Thai sauce, and I believe I’ve nailed it (so there’s no need for specialty ingredients like tamarind paste or palm sugar). Hubby certainly gives this his stamp of approval—he says it’s ‘the best Pad Thai’!

Pad Thai is such a quick and easy meal. This homemade version is simple to whip up, making it a great option for a fast, nutritious dinner packed with veggies, protein, and fresh herbs. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or whenever you’re craving those vibrant Southeast Asian flavours! Plus, it’s just as quick to make as the total time it takes to order and pick up takeaway from your local Thai restaurant.

Health benefits

Loaded with protein from chicken or tofu and eggs and packed with fresh herbs, garlic, and bean sprouts, this gluten-free Pad Thai is a nourishing meal. The rice noodles are gluten-free, and you can easily adapt the recipe for dairy-free, egg-free, or vegetarian diets, making it suitable for many dietary needs. The fresh lime and coriander also offer a good dose of antioxidants.

Ingredients

This Pad Thai recipe uses classic ingredients like rice noodles, chicken, garlic, and fresh herbs, along with a delicious sauce made from pantry staples like fish sauce, tamari, and rice vinegar. Topped with crunchy peanuts, a squeeze of lime and fresh coriander (cilantro), it’s a complete meal with everything you need for a balanced dish.

How to make healthy Pad Thai

Start by prepping all your ingredients and mixing the sauce. While soaking (or cooking) the rice noodles, stir-fry the onion, garlic, and chicken until cooked through over a medium high heat.. Add the eggs to the pan and scramble them alongside the chicken. Toss in the noodles, fresh mung bean sprouts, garlic chives, peanuts, and the sauce, and stir to combine.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Pad Thai is best served fresh with a generous squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts and coriander. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a pan over low heat to keep the noodles from getting too soft. You can also freeze the cooked chicken and sauce separately to save prep time next time.

Vary this healthy Pad Thai to suit your dietary needs

To make this peanut-free, swap the peanuts for toasted cashews or leave them out altogether. For a vegan option, replace the fish sauce with sea salt and use extra firm tofu instead of chicken. If you’re egg-free, sub in silken tofu, and for soy-free, use coconut aminos instead of tamari. Add extra stir-fried veggies for a nutrient boost and make it your own! I often add carrots, broccoli or asian greens. If you are a fan of shrimp, feel free to add as well.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your specific dietary requirements.

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar or rapadura
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce – or 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp tamari – or coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 lime/s (small) juice

Stir fry

  • 250 g rice noodles – Pad Thai (I find Changs brand hold up best)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion/s – finely sliced
  • 4 clove/s garlic – minced
  • 300 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts – or thigh, sliced very thinly (you can also use leftover cooked chicken too)
  • 3 egg/s – whisked in a jug
  • 1 bunch/s garlic chives – cut into 2 cm lengths
  • 120 g bean sprouts (approx. couple handfuls)
  • 60 g roasted peanuts – (½ cup) – finely chopped
  • 1 bunch/s fresh coriander leaves – finely chopped, or Thai basil is lovely too

Serve

  • 1 lime/s – cut into quarters (or lemon)
  • 1 red chilli/s – optional, sliced
Metric – US Customary

Instructions

  • Start with making the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Prepare ALL of your stir-fry ingredients so they are ready to cook, including whisking the egg into a small jug.
  • Check how your noodles are best prepared. Fill your kettle and put on to boil if they need to be soaked. Or put a large pot of water on to boil if they need simmering.
  • Start heating your wok (especially if using induction as I find it takes time for it to heat well).
  • Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for approx. 5 minutes until just softening then drain in a colander, rinsing immediately under cold water to stop them further cooking. Alternatively, cook according to the rice noodle packet instructions. Shake the colander to remove as much water as possible. Take care not to over soften them, they need a bit of a bite.
  • While the noodles are soaking/cooking, work quickly and heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick pan over a high heat.
  • Add the onion and cook for a few minutes until it softens. Add the garlic and chicken and stir-fry to cook (approx. 3-4 minutes). If using cooked chicken, only heat for 30 seconds.
  • Once cooked push to the side and pour in the whisked egg in the other side of the wok, mixing to cook.
  • Then add two thirds of the bean sprouts, garlic chives, two thirds of the peanuts, half the coriander, noodles and all of the sauce.
  • Turn off the heat straight away and gently fold to combine the ingredients with the sauce so that the noodles are evenly coated.

Serve

  • Garnish with remaining bean sprouts, peanuts and coriander.
  • With lime wedges (this is essential), see note below.

Note

  • Make sure you add the extra lime juice to taste. It really helps to balance out the saltiness and sweetness of the dish. Add to suit your taste.
  • Garlic chives are a herb that taste like a mix of spring onions and chives. They are sometimes available in a supermarket however if you cannot find them, you can substitute with some extra garlic. They are a very hardy herb so if you have space in your garden, grow some. They're also delish chopped through mashed potato.

Notes

Peanut-free

You can sub the peanuts with toasted cashew nuts or just leave out altogether (or add in toasted seeds).

Seafood-free

Replace the fish sauce with a good teaspoon of sea salt.

Egg-free

Replace with 150g silken tofu (scrambled for 30 seconds).

Vegetarian

Replace the chicken with 300g firm tofu diced and cook for 1 minute (to heat it).

Vegan

Combine the seafood free and vegetarian versions.

Soy-free

Choose the coconut aminos instead of the tamari.

Add more veggies

Feel free to stir fry more veggies if you like.
