Rainy Day Baking: Dairy Free Choc Chip Muffins

Jump To Recipe!

Sometimes the best days are the ones where the weather has other plans for you. Today Angelo and I swapped our outdoor plans for an afternoon of cooking - and honestly? We're not even mad about it!

It turned into so much more than just baking. We started by searching for a recipe online and writing out a shopping list, then headed to Woolworths to track down everything we needed. Angelo was really engaged finding the right products on the shelves - turns out ingredient hunting is actually a pretty fun challenge when you're looking for dairy free swaps!

Back at the hub, the real fun began. Angelo is lactose intolerant, so we needed to make sure every ingredient worked for him. Once you know the right swaps, it's honestly so much easier than you'd think - and everything came straight from Woolworths, so nothing fancy or hard to find.

We worked through the recipe together, talking through each step and breaking it down as we went. We had a great conversation about measurements - cups, teaspoons, tablespoons - and when we realised the recipe was American, Angelo was the one who pointed out that we use Celsius here, not Fahrenheit! We set timers, mixed gently, spooned the batter in evenly, and washed up as we went.

Dairy Free Muffins

Instead of regular butter we used Miracle Dairy Free Spread. Instead of regular milk we used Woolworths Lactose Free Full Cream Milk. And instead of chocolate chips we grabbed two blocks of Sweet William Dairy Free Mylk Chocolate and broke them into squares. The result was absolutely delicious - soft, fluffy muffins that everyone could enjoy!

At Loving Life Support Services, we believe the best moments happen in the everyday -- a rainy afternoon, a warm kitchen, and something delicious in the oven. We support people to live their fullest lives, build real skills, and find joy in the little things.
