Vegan Chocolate Maple Syrup Muffins

So my first actual attempt at making something vegan (I don't know if I have made anything vegan before. I'm sure I did. But not on purpose..) Maybe an attempt of being healthier. Because healthy muffins are always a-okay with me! Really, any kind of muffins are okay with me!

So, being my first real attempt, I didn't know what to expect. Too dry? Too moist? Digging into these bad boys, I found that, like in Goldilocks, they turned out to be just right. I swear, it was like I was eating a soft, fluffy chocolate bar. And boy do I love chocolate.

Actually, the other day, the mother of my tutee gave me a huge bag filled to the brim with chocolate.(tutee? Is that a word? One who is being tutored? My spell check doesn't seem to be liking it. Although it doesn't like the word "Nutella" either, and I feel that that word should be included in every dictionary.) Anyways, best day ever. I'll feel bad if I just eat it all myself, so I'm probably going to be doing some baking. Be prepared to see some more chocolate recipes!

Now I have no excuse not to make vegan treats, I honestly can't tell the difference.
