How long do these Chocolate Chip Muffins keep for?

Ingredients
- 60 g (¼ cup) coconut oil (or sub olive or vegetable oil)
- 200 ml (⅘ cup) unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ensure gluten-free if necessary)*
- 8 tablespoons maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 150 g (1 ¼ cup) ground almonds (almond meal) **
- 150 g (1 ¼ cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
- 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 60 g (⅓ cup) dark chocolate chips (ensure vegan/gluten-free if necessary)***
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
Place the coconut oil in a large bowl and melt over a saucepan of boiling water or in the microwave (skip this step if using any other oil)
Once melted, add the milk to the same bowl along with the vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and ground almonds
Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda
Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it’s looking too dry
Add the chocolate chips and fold in gently
Transfer the mixture between muffin cases in a muffin tin
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean
Tastes best when fresh, but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days
Notes
*If you don't want to use vinegar, substitute it with lemon juice as you need something acidic to react with the alkali bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
**You can alternatively use almond flour
***Use refined sugar free chocolate chips for a refined sugar free version

just wondering why put in the apple cider vinegar?

Hi - the apple cider vinegar is there because the acidic vinegar reacts with the alkali bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to make the muffins fluffy. If you don't want to use vinegar, you can replace it with lemon juice instead!
