    ❤️About This Recipe

    • 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)

    🧾Ingredient Notes

    You will need only 10 ingredients to make eggless chocolate chip muffins. Here is the pic, I am sure you’ll have everything in your pantry.

    Image of ingredients used in eggless chocolate chip muffins. Includes milk, vinegar, oil, vanilla, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips

    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.

    👩‍🍳Step By Step Photo Instructions

    1) Take milk in a bowl or measuring cup, add vinegar.

    2) Mix and let it sit for 10 minutes, you will notice the milk has curdled slightly. 
    While this mixture is resting, line a 12 cup muffin tray with paper muffin liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 375°F (or 190°C). Then prep the rest of the ingredients.

    💭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 chocolate chip 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.

    🧁Freezer 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.

      Sounds really good recipe. Can we try real Indian style buttermilk ( mixed yogurt and water)?

        personally I have not tried making it gluten free.
        I do not have expertise into gluten-free baking.

      Didn’t work very well, batter was very thick and the muffins were very dense not like others I have made before.
