Ingredients

1 cup almond milk ( you can use vanilla)

Method | Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with paper. Whisk together the almond milk and vinegar in a large bowl, and set aside for a few minutes. Add the sugar, oil, vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture and beat for about 2 min.. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in  wet ingredients and beat until no large lumps remain, you may have a few lumps.

Pour into liners, filling almost all the way full. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
