Mini Chocolate chip muffins - Eggless is a tasty mid-morning/ evening snack. Mini muffins are the perfect portion For kids. Chocolate lovers can’t say no to these eggless yummy muffins. Vishvak likes chocolate, and nowadays he wants chocolate in everything. Recently we went for a birthday party and he enjoyed Chocolate chip muffins. That’s when I realized I haven’t yet baked Chocolate chip muffins for him. Muffin is great for breakfast. Make-ahead breakfast like this is a saver for me during busy mornings. If I give him chocolate chip muffins I can see a happy smile😃 Be it a breakfast or mid-morning, evening snacks one common problem in our home is muffin portion size. At times he can’t finish the entire muffin and leave some leftovers. If I give him it after some time he demands a new one. Back in the UK days when I tried baking for the first time, I got a silicon cake pan, mini cupcake pan. Recently we went to a play date for Vishvak, and my friend prepared a mini cupcake and the portion size was perfect for kids. So I thought of following her idea. This time it is mini muffins. I don’t have a mini cupcake/muffin tray. Instead of buying one used a mini silicone cup in a regular tray and it worked perfectly.
Nowadays I try to add almonds to most of Vishvak’s snacks. Remember my Oats Almond Butter muffins? Tried to use Almond Butter in place of regular butter/oil. Almond Butter not only gave a nice texture to the muffin but also added some healthy touch to the Chocolate chip muffin. Flaxseed is a great replacement for eggs. Reading about its health benefits I got a pack of flaxseed powder from the grocery store. Now a days trying to add a lot in my kid’s snacks. Flax seeds make a Egg-free delicious chocolate chip muffins Little cinnamon compliments the chocolate chip muffin, and cinnamon is very good for health too. If you have cinnamon at home trying adding it. I have posted lot of recipes with brown sugar. Recently I started using white sugar a lot here is a muffin with brown sugar. I wanted to post this on Mother’s day but the weekend I was held up with few things and couldn’t.
