EGGLESS BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIPS MUFFINS INGREDIENTS
All-purpose flour: No cake flour here, the all-purpose flour is the best choice for this recipe; the crumbs come out tender even without the cake flour.
Rolled oats: Not much, just two tablespoons, but they help not add more fiber to the muffins but enhance the texture and help the muffin's crumbs stay tender for longer.
Chocolate Chips: I have used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can go for dark.
Banana: You can use ripe bananas, but it's better to use them when they are still all yellow and are a little firm.
Butter and oil: These two fats combination is great for baking cakes and muffins, the butter gives great flavor, and the oil keeps the crumbs from drying.
Baking soda: When we use baking soda with yogurt in cakes and muffins, that is also a way to help the muffins stay moist for a longer time.
HOW TO MAKE EGG FREE BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line muffin pans with paper liners, or use a muffin cup.
Step 2
Whisk all the dry ingredients except sugar in a medium bowl and keep aside. Take a teaspoon from the flour mixture and mix it with the chocolate chips; keep it aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the wet ingredients with sugar until combined.
Step 4
Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently. Add the chocolate chips and fold gently.
Step 5
Take ⅓ cup from the batter and spoon in the muffin liners. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the banana muffins comes clean. Cool on a wire rack.
💭 COOKING TIPS
- Always fluff the flour and then use a spoon or scoop to scoop it into this measuring cup; this way you want to use more flour, it will result in dense or dry muffins.
- Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the batter after scooping it into the pan, making the muffins look pretty.
- You can add toasted nuts to the batter; I would go for pecans but use the nuts you like.
- To ensure the muffins are done, insert a toothpick in the middle, and it should come out clean.
- Always preheat the oven. It will help the muffins to bake evenly.

Can we use the same measurements as given above, and make a cake instead of muffins?

Hi Shivani, most eggless cakes turn dough like and heavy if baked in one 8" pan. Instead, you can use 2 pans and will have a good result.
