Its been quite a while since i last baked anything with chocolate. The baker in me was desperate and it was like a race against the time as my work was keeping me quite busy. Finally my craving got better of me and i decided to give up, but to my horror i was out of eggs as well as cocoa powder, I felt as if my world turned upside down!! No that is not an exaggeration and I am sure the bakers would understand my sentiments. Now i really had to bake something chocolaty, ok so i decided to go for eggless muffins, quick and easy but to go for cocoa powder hunting at 11pm in the night was out of question. I could use some of my dark chocolate which i got from swiss but i just have few slabs left until my next batch comes from abroad and so i guard them with my life!! Argghh.....pacing up and down in my room i saw some hot chocolate sachets of Lindt, do i need to mention what happened next?
My recipe for these low fat, eggless chocolate muffins is inspired from Mandira's recipe for Eggless Chocolate Nut Muffins which i had bookmarked sometime back.
Also I am sending my Jain Vegetable Makhanwala to Think Spice : Poppy Seeds event guest hosted by Rv brainchild of Sunita.
Recipe yields 6 large muffins
Ingredients:-
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar (adjust according to taste, if required)
1 1/2 tbsp good quality hot chocolate powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp oil
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Procedure:-
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Line 6 muffins holders with liners or grease them.
- Sieve together flour, hot chocolate powder, baking soda and baking powder.
- Add in oil, milk and whisk properly until everything is mixed properly. I did not use a beater for this, hand whisk is fine.
- Finally add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 15 to 18 mins, until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve them warm with a cold glass of milk, enjoy!

Thanks for visiting. To answer your question about shortening, it is same as Dalda. You must be able to get Dalda in India easily and if you are outside, definitely in Indian stores.
Happy New Year Parita!! Enjoy the holidays...

Wow... you came up with the recipe all on your own! How did it taste? It sure looks yummy!
I love eggless stuffs and this muffins would do all good to me!!!
These muffins look wonderful. With hot chocolate powder, what can go wrong. They have to taste scrumptious!
In baking I replace oil with apple sauce and use almond milk instead of dairy and it is just as good.
I also LOVE to use my blender to make muffins (and pancakes). Clean up is easy, very minimal dishes used and it's easy to pour right from the blender pitcher.
Thanks for the recipe. Sounds like it would be a great mid afternoon snack.
The receipe ingd does mention sugar however the method does not???
