Step 1: In a large bowl add soy milk and oil. Use a whisker and whisk until foamy. It should mimic the egg whites.

Step 2: Next, cook water with sugar. Turn off the heat as soon as the sugar is dissolved. Pour it into the soy milk and oil mixture and combine. Lastly, add vanilla and now we can add dry ingredients.

Step 3: Now it's time to add dry ingredients, which are almond flour, buckwheat flour, rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cacao powder. Carefully combine and create a smooth batter. The batter should be light and creamy.

Step 4: In this step, we add chocolate chips and carefully fold them into the batter.

Step 5: Scoop the batter into the muffin pan and bake for about 35 minutes. If you don't have a silicone muffin pan I suggest greasing the pan with butter and flour so they will easily come out of the pan. Or you can use muffin liners. Enjoy!
