Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

I have the awesome opportunity to pair up with 

some fantabulous blogger friends

to celebrate Muffin Monday :).
This week's special is a classic:
Double Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Of course, I had to veganize the recipe...

and healthify it, just a little bit.
I attempted to make it gluten free too!

That's how I roll :).
