Eggless chocolate chip muffins recipe – very easy to make soft, moist and fluffy muffins recipe
The most beautiful and delicious part of these muffins is its topping. topping is made from ground cinnamon and sugar. It gets nice and crispy when it bakes. But it gets soft on second day but let me tell you it still tastes good on second day. If you are not cinnamon fan, then skip the topping part.
This is very versatile muffin batter. Skip the chocolate chips and cinnamon-sugar topping, you will have plain vanilla flavored batter. Now you can add whatever you are craving for like dried fruits, almonds, walnuts, fresh berries, raisins, dates. Choices are endless.
If you are vegan, you can make this vegan. Use vegan milk (rice milk or soy milk or almond milk) and vegan chocolate chips. And you will have vegan chocolate chips muffins.
First time I made these muffins were about 6 months ago. and my husband took one bite, he did not believe that these are really eggless. They are so soft, fluffy, and moist with bread like texture. After that I made these yummy choco chip muffins so many times even I don’t remember how many times. Last time I made was this Saturday and took the photos. Today at Sunday night I am sharing it with you guys. I also make double chocolate muffins for him sometime.
This muffins are very easy to make. Add wet ingredients to dry. Then top it with cinnamon sugar topping and bake it. It will take only 35 minutes from start to finish, isn’t that great?
These eggless chocolate chips muffins have perfect sweetness and you will get chocolate chip in every bite.

Hi, can you chk the measurements,?
Is it 1 tsp vinegar and 1tbsp soda? I dont think so…i tried the exact recipe a d it came out very hard..
thanks
measurements are correct.
Had to make this into a 20cm sized cake as I realised I had packed away my muffin tins.
Kept it as a vanilla cake with strawberry frosting and it was so nice.
Moist and fluffy on the inside.
Will make again, but next time as choc chip muffins!
Thank you.
very happy to hear that it came out good.
Thank you for the feedback.
Delicious! I made these gluten free and therefore added an extra 1/4 cup of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of xanthum gum. Was a bit surprised at the amount of baking powder, but the truth is the texture and flavour are great. Thanks!
Glad to know that recipe was helpful and it came out good.
These eggless cupcakes were amazing. They didn’t last long! My daughter is allergic to egg so I am always baking eggless and not always successful at it. These cup cakes were moist and even rose up a little. Oh, I used butter instead of oil. Will make this again. Thanks so much for the recipe.
thank you for your detailed feedback and glad to know that recipe was helpful to you
Hi kahan, I tried this with whole wheat flour.
It wasn’t that fluffy although it tastes awasome.
Can you tell me how to convert all purpose flour (maida) recipes to whole wheat recipes (atta) effectively?
Thanks in advance!!
There is no specific thumb of rule for replacing all purpose flour with wheat flour. Every recipe is different. Based on other ingredients used, recipe requires changes. I can’t tell without trying
Kanan, thank you for this wonderful recipe. I’m enjoying these as I type! Absolutely delicious and simple. Proves there’s really no need for dairy! Thank you thank you! I will be baking these again and again!
Glad to know that muffins came out good and you liked.
Excellent muffin! Made them as a “Tomorrow Morning” treat for grandkids ..but caved in and tried one tonight . Very good and like you stated can be used in many ways. Thank you. I will check out more of your recipes.
Glad to know that muffins came out good.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi,
My name is Naomi. I love your muffin recipe. I made them with my mommy and we used peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips because I don’t like chocolate chips.
Your recipe is the best!
Thank you,
Naomi Burgess
Thank you Naomi for positive feedback.
Glad to know muffins came out good.
These were fantastic. My daughter with an egg allergy loved them. I was out of chocolate chips so I used fresh apple and added cinnamon to the recipe and they were awesome.
Wow, glad to hear that recipe is helpful to you
Hi,
Just wanted to say thank you for this great recipe! It has been a long time since I baked anything and this was a great recipe to start again with. It was easy to follow, and the muffins are absolutely delicious!

Thanks Sue for the feedback. Nice to know that you and kids liked muffins.
In the above receipt of chocolate chip cupcakes, is it mandatory to use white vinegar and vanilla extract.
I am getting vanilla essence in the shop and not /not vanilla extract.
are they both the same things.
I am not able to find white vinegar in the market
Can I replace it with something else.
thanks
Vanilla essence is artificial flavor while vanilla extract is pure. I know that extract is not available in India. You can use vanilla essence or vanilla bean powder.
Instead of white vinegar use same amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
These muffins that are the best chocolate chip muffins, vegan or not, I’ve ever made. I doubled the recipe, left out the vinegar and used melted coconut oil in the recipe. After doubling I added an additional half cup melted coconut oil. I was generous with the chocolate chips. Thanks so much for them!
Thanks for the review Elizabeth. Nice to know that recipe is helpful to you and muffins came out good.
Hi…..I just want to know is there any replacement for vineger…..I mean can I use anything else instead of vineger……plz do reply….coz I tried to make muffen for many time but it turn in to disaster every time…I fond this recipe quite easy so dying to try this 1…..
Use same amount of fresh lemon juice.
I tried making these but the chocolate chips seem to sink to the bottom of the case rather than all over the cake. How can I rectify this.
To avoid it – take chocolate chips in a bowl, add 1 tablespoons of flour mixture. Mix well, so flour is coated to the chips. Now flod them with batter.
Hey…i tried making it today…the muffins looked great but tasted a bit floury….what could be the reason?? Also the batter was very thick…almost dough like…are we supposed to sift the flour before measuring it??
Batter is pretty thick (not dropping consistency) But it is not dough like. For flour measurement, I scooped and leveled (not sifted).
Not sure why it tastes floury. Was the muffins slightly raw from inside? If it’s raw then it is possible to taste like that.
Hey Kanan,
I want to make these muffins for my sis’s birthday. For topping I wanted to use whipped cream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjMLzgYxWe4
I am going to use this recipe for my whipping cream. Can u tell me how to add cinnamon powder to this and how much should I make for 20 regular sized cupcakes
THANK YOU
Use 1 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream which makes about 3 cups of whipped cream. This quantity is enough to frost 20 cupcakes or muffins. Use 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I just made these muffins with my daughter and they are SO good!! We are out of eggs so I googled eggless muffin recipes and found your site. I am so happy I did! These are delicious and I will definitely be trying your other recipes! Thank you!
Thank you for positive and constructive feedback. Nice to know that muffins came out good. Hope you like other recipes as well.
Okay so I tried this with the standard 240mils American cup and trust me people, THIS IS A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Since I was raised as a lacto-vegetarian, I never did and still do not like the ‘eggy’ taste in any baked goods. This recipe is great, I let it bake for 15mins and it turned out purrfect. Oh and I was out of vanilla extract so I skipped the vanilla-chocochip thingy and put in cardamom powder which, I promise is a very elegant variation of this foolproof recipe. I am literally crying right now, after years of searching for the perfect eggless cupcake/muffin base batter, I *finally* found one.
SIX STARS.
Thank you Meera for detailed and postive feedback. Very glad to know that you muffins came out good. We Indians always love cardamom powder in sweets.
Hi Kanan,
Can you please tell me what measurement cup you use? Is it standard American(240ml)? Or Indian(200ml)?
Thanks
I have used US measuring cups 1 cup = 240 ml
Forgot to include the stars: 2X5
Thank you
DELISH! Thank you!
Hi Kanan, I just love your recipies. I’ve tried a few and they have all turned out perfectly. I would like to know if i can skip oil and use butter instead for this recipe. If yes then how much butter should be used? ( i’mnot a big fan of oil based cakes 🙂 )
Thank you Deep. Happy to know that you like recipes. For these muffins, you can use 1/3 cup of melted and cooled butter instead of 1/2 cup of oil.
Sorry using my phone ..it supposed to be a five star rating…
Np, thanks.
Hi..thanks for this recipe…my husband loves desserts and when fasting its hard to make anything he would like without eggs..but your recipes are sooo simple n easy n it tastes great..today I made the eggless vanilla cake and also the eggless chocolate chip muffins and they were to die for…we both loved it and is trying to go vegan with our desserts now as we do a lot of fasting ….PS can you help with an eggless pineapple upside down cake…
Thanks for the feedback Nala. Very glad to hear that you liked cake and muffins both.
I will add pineapple upside down cake recipe in my to do list
Hi Kanan,
I tried your recipe and it was great except muffins were little dry. My batter was extremely thick. Can you advise how batter consistency should be and what can I do to make muffins moistured. Please advice. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe.
Sorry for late reply. muffins become dry if it is over baked. Try to bake it for less time. This recipe gives moist (but not extra moist) muffins. The batter consistency is medium-thick for this recipe like idli batter.
Thanks Kanan. I will try that. Can you please post recipe for carrot cake?
Actually I took photos of carrot cake about a month back. Never got chance to upload here. Will do it soon,
Thanks Kanan. Will wait for it
Hie Kanan
I need to ask you that can i skip using vinegar ? Or is there any other substitute to it ?
You can use same amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of vinegar.
Hello. The muffins turn out really well for me. I was very happy with the taste and everything. And thank you soo much. It took me nearly an hour to search for an easy egg-less chocolate chips muffin which had less ingredients, easy and egg-less. I love your website and thanks again 🙂
Glad to hear that you liked and enjoyed muffins. You will find many easy and eggless recipes here.happy baking.
Kanan, I used the same recipe but replaced 50% maida with atta. My batter was very thick and the muffins didnt rise at all. I did use the exact measurements as in the recipe. Do you know why the batter could have gone thick and why the muffins didnt rise?
if you replace the maida with atta, you need more liquid. Because atta absorbs more liquid compare to maida. Also baked goods made with atta is dense. If it is made with atta then one needs to adjust the quantity of liquid ingredient(oil and milk in this case) and leaving agents (baking powder in this case) to make it light and fluffy.
Basically, one cannot just replace the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour without making any other change.
Thanks Kanan, let me try making it with maida and let you know how this turns out
When you mix 1 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar is it to making buttermilk? Do need to expect any reaction of the mixing? When i halve the recipe, do i halve the mixture or halve milk and mix with half of vinegar?
Yes, when we mix milk with vinegar to make buttermilk. once we mix it and keep it aside for 10 minutes, milk will curdle,
yes when you half the recipe, mix half milk with half vinegar.
Thank you. I am going to make this on this weekend.
Kanan, it turned out very yummy. The only thing is it rose so high. Is it because i use double acting baking powder? Do i need to reduce the measurement when using it?
I am not familiar with double acting baking powder. I have never used it.
Is it 1 table spoon baking powder
Or 1 teaspoon
it is 1 tablespoon. I checked with my notes to make sure.
Can u use normal vinger instead of white vinger.
I think normal vinegar is same as white vinegar. I have mentioned white vinegar because we also get apple cider vinegar and red vine vinegar, so I wanted to make it clear.
Can I use same proportion of melted butter instead of oil??
Yes, same quantity of melted, cooled butter can be used in place of oil
Hi,
Just wondering, would this come out as nice if i use self raising flour instead of all purpose flour. Looks very nice.
Thanks
H
1 cup of Self rising flour is same as 1 cup all purpose flour + 1 teaspoon baking powder + 1/4 teazpoon salt.
You can use self rising flour in fhis recipe but reduce the baking powder and skip the salt.
Muffin looks very soft and moist tempting
Very attractive and cute muffins,love to grab some and have rite now.
