Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
Mix the plant milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract in a separate medium bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Add a few walnut pieces on top.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
