How to Prepare Eggless Chocolate Muffins?

Wet Ingredients:

Cold Water - 1 and half cup
White Vinegar - 1 and half tbsp's
Brown Sugar (or) Sugar - 1 cup

 Mix the above Wet ingredients in a bowl together. Let the Sugar Dissolve well.

Dry Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 and half cup
Cocoa Powder - 1/4 cup
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - a small pinch

Sift the flour and cocoa powder along with the salt and baking soda for atleast 3 times,

So that no lumps of cocoa powder / all purpose flour are there and also the baking soda is mixed well with the flour.

Mix the Dry Ingredients along with the wet ingredients and stir slowly. make sure no lumps are formed in the mix.

Pre-Heat the Oven to 180c and line the Muffin tray with Muffin Liners.

Pour the mix on to the Muffin tray and bake it for 25 mins exactly. Check whether muffins are baked, by insering a toothpick in the centre of a muffins, it should come out clean, else bake for another 5 mins.

Remove the Muffins from the tray and cool them on wire wrack. Let them cool down for 10 minutes.

 Put the Muffins in Refrigerator for about 2 hrs and serve chilled.

To make Icing:

Mix the Icing sugar (5 tbsp's) with warm water (1 tbsp) and beat well. spread the icing over the muffins and serve.

Notes:

Lemon Juice can be used instead of White Vinegar.

Brown sugar works perfect than Plain Sugar.

I feel cooling the muffins makes it taste better.

Well, now iam heading to my fridge to pick one muffin:)

Merry Christmas and Happy Weekend Dear Readers...

It was one of my wish to participate in a Blog Posting Marathon. finally nearing the end of the year, its fulfilling thru Nupur's Recipe Marathon. Here I Run with Muffin's....

I wanted to Bake some Goodies for Christmas, as i was confident on muffins, went ahead with it. i made both classic Vanilla and choco-walnut muffins. both turned out extremely Good. I did the icing with the Pilsbury vanilla and chocolate icing. it gave a nice look and cream to the muffins. I enjoyed the icing decoration part very much. I just got one muffin to taste. 6 went as gifts, the kid had one, hubby had 4. the muffin i tasted was soaked in Capsicum Sambhar by my kid. ( he should have thought it as Vadai i guess:) )

Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing

As i did my schooling in Christian institutions, Christmas Celebrations, Crib's, Santa Claus, Prayers, Colourfull Lighted Hanging Star, Christmas Tree were all not missed every year. But after schooling, i never had a chance to enjoy the christmas spirit. Now again Christmas Spirit got me this year, after Christmas Celebration's at my Son studying School.

Now Coming to the Vanilla and Chocolate-walnut muffin story...

Ingredients: ( 12 Big Muffins)

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 275 gms
Butter - 150 gms
Sugar - 1 and half cup
Egg's 4
Vanilla Essence - 2 cap full (2 tsp's)
Baking Powder - 2 tsp
Baking Soda - 2 tsp

Dark Chocolate Bar - 75 gms / Cocoa Powder - 4 tbsp's
Walnut - 7 (chopped into small pieces)

Vanilla and Chocolate cupcakes

Method:

Pre-Heat the oven to 180c for 10 minutes. Grease the Muffin Pan's with some butter and set aside.

Mix the Flour with Baking Powder and Baking Soda. set it aside.

Powder the Sugar and keep aside.

Beat the Egg's and keep aside.

Add the powdered Sugar to the Butter and Cream it well. I use my hand whisk and whisk for atleast 3-4 minutes, till i notice a colour change of the butter from light yellow to white.

Add the flour to the creamed butter- egg mix and slowly mix it up with a wooden spatula or wooden spoon.

Now add the Egg's and mix the flour well with the other ingredients. add vanilla essence and mix well.

If your flour batter is so tight, add few spoons of warm milk and mix well. Pour the batter to the greased muffin pan's and bake them for 25 mins at 180c. check the muffins, whether its cooked, by inserting a toothpick on the muffin comes out clean. Bake it furthur for 5 - 7 mins if not cooked.

With the Remaining Batter, add the melted chocolate and chopped walnuts. mix well and spoon in on the muffin pan's and bake them for 25 mins at 180c. sprinkle some crushed walnuts over the muffin batter before baking.

Let the Muffin's cool down and decorate it with icing. I used Pilsbury Vanilla and Chocolate Icing. had some chocolate vermicelli and decorated the muffins with that too.

Now these muffins are jingling all the way to asankhana's Jingle event.

Merry Christmas...Enjoy the Weekend!!

I Prepared these Savoury Muffins with Carrot, Cabbage, corriander leaves. I used Wheat Flour and Oats Flour, all these put together and baked without oil tasted really good. The Guilt part was the Egg Yolks. Next time i should try substituting Eggs with Flax seeds. I added finely sliced Green Chilli's and Red Chilli Flakes to add up the spice. It really helped the muffins taste better than bland taste. These Muffins just tasted like Whole Wheat Bread, this reminds me that i should start baking Breads...

Whole Wheat Savoury Muffins

Ingredients:

(Yields 8 Large Muffins)

Wheat Flour - 400 gms
Oat Flour - 75 gms
Salt - 1 tbsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1 tsp

Grated Carrot - 3 tbsp
Grated Cabbage - 4 tbsp
Green Chilli - 1 (finely sliced)
Red Chilli Flakes - 2 tsp
Corriander Leaves - 2 tbsp's (finely chopped)

Whole Large Egg's - 2
Buttermilk - 1/2 cup

Method:

Pre-Heat the Oven to 220C.

Mix the Wheat Flour with Oats Flour. add salt, baking soda and baking powder. Mix well with your hands.

Remember : Never Sieve/Sift the Wheat Flour. The Nutrients are lost when sieved.

Now add Grated Carrot, Cabbage, Green Chilli, Red Chilli Flakes & Corriander Leaves to the flours and mix well.

Beat the Egg and add it to the flour. mix with a wooden spoon.

Add Buttermilk to the flour and mix well with the spoon. I kept mixing with hands. It should be like our little watery chapathi dough.

Grease the Muffin Pan and spoon in the dough into the moulds.

Bake it for about 20 minutes at 220c. and check whether it has cooked by inserting a toothpick or knife in centre of the muffins and comes out clean. If Not cooked bake them for another 5 minutes.

Enjoy the Muffins Warm!!

Healthy Savoury Muffin

How it Tasted?

Muffins did'nt taste bland, as the red chilli flakes and finely chopped green chilli helped a lot in adding spice. Muffins tasted like a spiced whole wheat bread. i could not even spot the Oat flour.
Cabbage and Carrot gave a different touch to the muffins. for me it tasted like a bonda:)

Finally these No Oil Muffins tasted Good.

Eggless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

After getting my muffin tray's, can anything stop me from trying muffins in the new tray? Iam glad that i tried Pumpkin muffins, as i easily prepared it by combining the wet and dry mix. The end result's were much appreciable. I did not feel, that i missed egg as it was fluffy or i could not spot the Pumpkin flavour in spite of using fresh home-made Pumpkin Puree. The spice i prepared for this was extra-ordinary. it filled my home with flavours of cardamon and Nutmeg.

Eggless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

First I Prepared the Pumpkin Puree and left it in fridge overnight. Remove the Puree from fridge, just before 15 minutes for preparing muffin mix.

The Spice Mix I prepared had

1. Dry Ginger - 3'inch size (I know its more, but its good)

2. Black Cardamon - 1

3. Green Cardamon - 2

4. Cinnamon - 2'inch round stick

5. Nutmeg - 1/4 (of small nutmeg)

6. Cloves - 3

Grinded the above into a powder and sieved to separate the Ginger's nerves.

* Do not add more Nutmeg, even while preparing in more quantity.

i decided to bake the muffins without egg and butter. am sure, not due to calorie conscious, bcoz i did not have egg's and i wanted to use olive oil substituting butter, to find what difference it makes in taste. I added 2 tbsp's of yogurt at last to get the pouring consistency.

Wet Ingredients:

Pumpkin Puree - 100ml

Olive Oil - 50 ml

Yogurt - 2tbsp's


Dry Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 175gms

Powdered Sugar - 1/4 cup

Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp

Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Salt - a pinch

Spice Mix - 2 tbsp's

Chocolate Chips - 5 tbsp's


Method:


Mix the Pumpkin Puree well with Olive oil. keep aside.

Sift the flour with salt, baking powder and baking soda. sift at least twice.

Mix Powdered sugar and spice mix and chocolate chips with the flour.

Add the Wet Ingredients (Pumpkin Puree + Oil) to the flour and mix it wooden spoon.

Add Yogurt to get the spooning consistency of batter to muffin cup's.

Grease the muffin cup with oil and spoon in the batter.

I topped it with some chocolate chips and nuts and some museli.

Pre-Heat the oven at 180C. for about 10 mins.

Bake at 170C for about 35 mins. check whether muffins are cooked and bake it furthur if not cooked.

Cool them and serve with cream on top.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin

People at home enjoyed Pumpkin Muffin's and they liked it more than my Pumpkin Pie.
I tried Banana Muffins the same way, but it did'nt turn out well as it was sticky and not fluffy as Pumpkin Muffins. somehow Pumpkin did a magic to these muffin's.
