Easy chocolate chip muffins without egg. Use the milled flax seed to substitute the egg. Dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free.
When I want to bake something sweet and realize I run out of eggs, then I have to resource some other substitute to replace the egg, but it has to work well. My first thought is flax seed!
Just like this Eggless Fudgy Triple Chocolate Brownies, the brownies made without egg as well as this Sunflower Butter Flax Cookies.
This flaxseed chocolate chip muffins taste slightly nutty without nuts on it. But if you would like to add nuts, I can say almond or walnut would add a crunchy texture.

The muffin turns out pretty good although it doesn’t contain any egg. Store it in a covered container or wrap it with the saran wrap. It will last up to 5 days if it lasts that long in the room temperature.
Do you love muffins? Try this Fluffy Banana Muffins too because it is so good and easy to make.

Thank you, they are easy to make too!
So many people don’t like Flax seeds but they can be used for so many things. This recipe is a great example of using flaxseed for baking. I actually never thought of this. I am going to try it this week.
Thank you. yes please try it. I also surprised that flax seed is really good on any baked good!
These muffins look so delicious. They have to be consider a health food since they have flex seed.
Thank you, I would say so, because flax contain omega 3 which is beneficial for us.
Ooh I want to try this! I didn’t know flaxseed was an egg replacement!
There is quite few of egg substitutes, flax seed is one of them, there is one called flax egg, with ratio 1 flax egg equal 1 egg.
Oo chocolate chip muffins are my fav but I’ve never made them with flax seed. I enjoy flax seed in my granola currently, but I want to try this out. It sounds yummy!!
Thank you, you definitely can add flax seed on any bake good.
Those look delicious!! I never thought about using flax as an egg substitute… I would think the texture and taste would be really different, but always love experimenting with healthy swaps!
The taste is just like chocolate chip muffins and the texture is still fluffy, flax is the best one to replace the egg plus you got the benefit of it.
Sooo good! I tweaked them a bit to make them healthier, but they are still delish! 😋
Heres what i did!
Sub maple syrup for sugar (1/2 cup)
4 T water since syrup is liquid
1 cup organic choc chips
GF flour
Beat butter on its own until fluffy, add syrup when adding other ingredients.
Hi Abi, thank you so much for suggesting using these ingredients. I will try using maple syrup next time. Thank you again, and have a wonderful day.
