I really like the gooey muffins especially the melty chocolate when it comes to dark chocolate muffins or cakes. Have you ever made vegan muffins before with the same consistency? If so, please let me know! Congratulations on completing numerous cakes & desserts, that’s amazing!!!

I know what you mean about chunky muffins beating a cupcake, and whilst mostly I prefer fruit / veg varieties, sometimes chocolate is what's required. I did laugh at the challenges you faced with keeping Sylvia from all of the caramel chips, and then having to deal with a whole tray of enticing muffins.
