Preparing Salted Coconut Chocolate Muffins Vegan Style
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and ready a muffin tin by lining it with paper cups.
- Combine ground flaxseed with water to form a flax egg, setting it aside for future use.
- In a substantial mixing bowl, blend together the flour, baking powder, rich cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and pinch of salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, brewed coffee, olive oil, pure vanilla extract, and flaxseed-based egg substitute until well combined.
- Create a crater-like indentation in the midst of the dry components, then pour the liquid mixture into the well simultaneously. Utilize a rubber spatula to gently amalgamate the ingredients just until all the flour has been fully integrated. As you stir, allow the delicate sweetness of the dark chocolate to mingle with the tropical essence of the shredded coconut, creating a harmonious blend that will delight the senses.
- Fill the lined muffin tin approximately two-thirds full, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin emerges clean.
- As you simultaneously prepare the ganache, bring the milk to a boil and let it simmer for a moment before proceeding. In a separate, heat-resistant bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. As you pour the scalding hot milk over the rich chocolate, whisk with a steady hand to coax every last morsel into silky submission, until not a single fragment remains. Allow the ganache to reach room temperature before drizzling it generously over the warm muffins.
- Gently sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the rich, velvety ganache to balance its sweetness and add depth to the flavor profile. Store in a sealed container at room temperature and consume within 3-5 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
