Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners.
In a small bowl, combine unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing it to curdle and form a vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in the granulated sugar until evenly combined.
Add the vegan buttermilk mixture, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these vegan chocolate muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
