- In a large bowl, combine applesauce, remaining 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, non-dairy milk, vanilla, and oil. Add vinegar and stir to thoroughly combine. Add dry ingredients to wet, then mix chocolate chips into batter.
- Divide batter evenly into muffin cups and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
