Vegan Chocolate Orange Muffins
The days are getting shorter, and the nights colder. After the whirlwind that was summer we're actually excited to ease into Autumn, and take things a little slower (mostly because we're exhausted!).
We're so excited to have Silvia + Kimberly hosting their Autumn Gathering in the studio November 18th. It's going to be a beautiful cozy evening, filled with lots of delicious and seasonal vegan food, and these yummy muffins here will be transformed into this amazing chocolate orange cake!
Find more details, the menu, and tickets for the supperclub jump over here and here.
To hold us over until the supperclub, here's the perfect recipe from Kimberly + Silvia, to ease us into the season.
We're so very excited to be cooking and hosting the AUTUMN GATHERING vegan supperclub at Rye London this November and thought we'd get you geared up with this vegan chocolate orange muffin recipe.
The muffins are super quick and simple to throw together, which is perfect if you're busy. And let's be honest, who isn't busy these days!
The muffins can be eaten on the day or frozen for those who want to enjoy them gradually throughout the week.
We really hope you enjoy these muffins as much as we did!

2 tbs ground flax seeds + 6tbs water
300g plain flour
200g sugar
2 tbs cacao
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

100g of dark vegan chocolate (70% cacao minimum)
