Mini Chocolate chip muffins – Eggless is a tasty mid-morning/ evening snack. Mini muffins are perfect portion For kids. Chocolate lovers can’t say no to this eggless yummy muffins.
Vishvak likes chocolate, and off late 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 muffin for him.
Muffin is great for breakfast. Make ahead breakfast like these are saver for me during busy mornings. If I give him chocolate chip muffins I can see 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 sometime he demands a new one.
Back in UK days when I tried baking for the first time, I got silicon cake pan, mini cupcake pan. Recently we went to a play date for Vishvak, and my friend prepared mini cupcake and 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 silicon cup in regular tray and it worked perfect.
Now a days I try to add almonds in 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 nice texture to the muffin but also added some healthy touch to Chocolate chip muffin.
Flax seed is a great replacement for eggs. Reading about its healthy benefits I got a pack of flax seed powder from grocery store. Now a days trying to add a lot in my kid’s snacks. Flax seeds makes 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 muffin with brown sugar.
I wanted to post this on Mother’s day but weekend I was held up with few things and coudln’t.
