❤️ You’ll Love Eggless Chocolate Chip Muffins

  • It requires 10 ingredients only.
  • This muffins batter comes together in 15 minutes only.
  • It has soft, moist and bread-like texture the same as you get in egg version.
  • It has a cinnamon-sugar topping. While muffins are fresh, the topping stays crispy. And it gets soft the second day but still delicious. (Not the cinnamon fan, skip the topping).
  • This is a very versatile muffin batter. Skip chocolate chips and topping, you will have the nice vanilla-flavored batter ready. Customize however you like (a few ideas, add dried fruits, nuts, berries, raisins, dates)

  • Milk+Vinegar: here I have combined both to make homemade buttermilk. If you have store-bought buttermilk ready in your fridge then use that. Make sure milk or buttermilk is at room temperature.
  • Oil: I recommend using flavorless oil like corn, canola, vegetable, safflower, etc.
  • Chocolate chips: I have used milk chocolate chips. You can use white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips. If you like less sweet then use dark chocolate chips.

💭 Expert Tips

  • Don’t Over-mix: When combined dry and wet ingredients, do not over mix. This is very important to make fluffy and soft eggless muffins. If you overmix, you will get dense, tough muffins.
  • This is the thick muffin batter, do not tempted to any other liquid into the batter.
  • You can make it vegan by substituting regular milk with any vegan milk and using vegan chocolate chips. Yes, I have tried myself and it works.

🧁 Freezeing Instructions

  • Let the muffins cool down completely. Wrap individual muffins into plastic wrap. 
  • Store in a freeze-safe ziplock bag and free up to 3 months.
  • To defrost the muffins, let it thaw at room temperature for few hours. 
  • Keep in mind that cinnamon-sugar topping will get soft.

FAQs

Can I substitute all purpose flour with wheat flour?

Personally, I have not tried it. To do so, few changes are required in the recipe and without trying I cannot say. But if you try, do let me know in the comments.

Can I use melted butter instead of oil?

I would not recommend it. Oil makes muffins moist.
