Sweet and crunchy chocolate chips plunged into soft, fluffy and mouth-watering muffins, that mill around your mouth even after you gobble all.
Yes, this is what the overall impact of these toothsome muffins.
And you are not going to less than surprised on knowing the ingredients and instructions.
This is such an easy recipe using very basic ingredients that even kids can make, somewhere with your support.
INGREDIENTS USED
FLOUR : To keep the Muffins healthy, we have used whole wheat flour. Please feel free to use all purpose flour replacing wheat flour, if you like.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS : We have used vegan chips in the recipe. But if you are not making them vegan, use any chips you get comfortably.
If chocolate chips aren’t easily available to you, you can use shredded chocolate replacing chips.
SUGAR : We have added cane sugar into the recipe and with the given quantity, Muffins were mildly sweet.
Cane sugar not only kept the muffins healthy but also gave a beautiful dark colour to the Muffins, which went amazing in combination to chocolate chips.
In place of cane sugar, you can use Jaggery powder, crushed jaggery, brown sugar or even refined or caster sugar.
OIL : Choose the oil which is flavourless and odourless. Refined oil works best in this recipe.
If you have no compulsion to keep muffins vegan, you can use melted butter also. Or they still can be made vegan inspite of using butter, if it is plant based butter.
BAKING SODA : It works as a leavening agent which helps the muffins to fluff up and make soft.
LEMON JUICE : Lemon juice helps in super-activating the baking soda and as such causes your baking extra lofty.
Lemon juice can be replaced with white vinegar in the equal quantity.
VANILLA ESSENCE : It brings flavour and aroma to the recipe.
PRO TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
1. Don’t skip sieving the flour. Sifting adds air to the flour which results in soft and fluffy muffins/cake.
2. Take the warm water but boiling hot.
3. Before adding chocolate chips, do coat them with bit of flour. Coating will prevent them from sinking at the bottom of the moulds.
4. Do not over mix the batter. Over mixing develops more gluten which causes the muffins to become sticky.
5. Fill the moulds with batter only up to 3/4th. If you fill them to the top, batter will overflow while baking.
6. Don’t miss the greasing of muffin moulds. If the moulds are properly greased, muffins will come out easily.
7. Do check the Muffins by inserting the toothpick or knife after they are baked. If toothpick comes out sticky, that’s a sign that muffins are under baked so need more time in oven.
8. Invert the Muffins only once they are completely cool. If you try to remove the hot muffins, they may break or scramble.
