Eggless Mocha Muffins recipe - sweet, coffee flavored muffins with crunch of almonds and bites of white chocolate chips. You can call it eggless coffee muffins as well.
these muffins are very easy to make and it requires very basic baking ingredients. The texture of this muffin is bread like, moist and tender.
If you are coffee lover then I am sure this recipe is for you. It has strong coffee flavor with dark chocolate taste from cocoa powder. With this dark flavor, sweetness of white chocolate chips goes very well. But you can use your choice of chips like semi-sweet, milk chocolate or cappuccino chips.
Addition of the whole wheat flour adds taste and texture to the muffins because it has nutty toasted flavor. While addition of all purpose flour makes muffins light textured.
I have used applesauce as an egg substitute here just like my chocolate brownies, lemon poppy seeds muffins, eggless zucchini bread. Applesauce provides moisture in it as well as gives rise to the muffins while they bake. Instead of that you can try adding yogurt. It should work fine.
This muffin tastes so delicious and has perfect texture that you won't miss eggs in it. Trust me, you should give this a try.
As usual, I have halved and made 6 muffins, below recipe ingredients are for 12 regular sized muffins.

Can the same measurements be used to bake a cake.thanku

The muffins aren't that sweet. If you put them in doughnut pans they have more surface area to sprinkle chocolate chips.
true, these are muffins so they are less sweet compared to other desserts like cakes, cupcakes.
Plus, these are mocha muffins. mocha flavor suppose to have strong coffee flavor with just touch of sweetness.
If you prefer more sweet then add some more sugar and add more semi-sweet chocolate chips in the batter.
Hi!
I have a question regarding baking cookies. I happen to follow the recipes exactly and the end batter also looks similar. However, during the baking either the cookies burn or are extremely hard to bite. Can you please suggest in this regard! Thank you...have a good day.
please let me know which cookie recipe you are referring to.
as per your description looks like your cookies are over-baked and burned. Try baking for less time than mentioned.
Also check your oven temperature using thermometer and check if it is right or not.
Usually when people bake cookies they cook them for too long. The recipe might say 16 mins for chocolate chip cookies when they only need 10 minutes.
Hi Kanan,
This recipe turned out so yum and beautiful! My first attempt at muffins and everyone at home loved it. I skipped whole wheat flour and added white sugar. Next time will try with brown sugar. Thanks to your easy and simple instructions baking is no problem at all. Also would like to thank u for your conversion chart , it really helps when v have to halve or double the recipes. Keep up the good work Kanan!
Glad to know that recipes and chart are helpful to you.
I baked these with yogurt, and they turned out fantastic! I must mention this was my first hand at muffins. Thanks a ton for the recipe. You rock!
XOXO
Great to know Bhavana that yogurt works for this recipe.
Thanks for the feedback.
Happy to be of help! The muffins tasted amazing too! Today I eliminated the coffee and tried these as chocochip muffins (since I didnt want to make them from 100% maida as your other recipe states). These tasted lovely too!
Hmm it must be tasting good without coffee too. Thanks for sharing your feedback. It may help others
