eggless chocolate chip muffins - easy choc chip muffins made with whole wheat flour.

eggless chocolate chip muffins recipewith step by step pics.

as a family we are chocolate lovers and any sweet or dessert with chocolate gets finished in no time. on one of my visits to the nearby super store, i managed to get callebaut chocolate chips and chocolate bars. one bite of the chocolate chip and it tasted real chocolate than the chocolate chips i have so far managed to get here.

so with the chocolate chips i made these chocolate muffins a couple of times. the crumb and texture is soft, light and so good, that no one will come to know that the muffins are eggless and made from whole wheat flour. when my folks had them, they thought i have added condensed milk and were pretty surprised that the only liquids that have been added are water and vinegar.

these eggless muffins can be bakedboth in the regular oven and in the convection mode of a microwave oven. i am not sure about baking in a pressure cooker. the recipe yields 7 regular muffins. you can easily double the recipe.

3. preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius/356 degrees fahrenheit. for an OTG, heat both the top and bottom heating elements.
4. heat ½ cup water till its warm. you can heat water in a pan or microwave. the temperature of the water should be about 45 to 46 degrees celsius.
5. add ½ cup sugar to the warm water. stir so that all the sugar dissolves.
6. now add 3 tbsp oil. i used olive oil but you can use any neutral flavored oil. you can also use melted butter. stir very well.
