Preheat the oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
Make vegan buttermilk: Mix almond milk with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk coconut oil, sugar, vanilla, and the almond milk mixture.
Combine everything: Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Don’t overmix—lumps are fine.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir them in, reserving a few for topping.
Fill muffin cups: Spoon batter into liners, filling them about ¾ full.
Bake: Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
Cool & devour: Let them cool for 5 minutes, but honestly, who waits?
