Eggless Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffin – Shack Saturdays

Hola! Hope you all are doing well and the weekend’s going great so far! Many of our readers requested for the eggless version of the banana muffins I posted last time. I tried substituting egg with milk and plain yogurt for this one and the result was as good as the ones with egg. I used Olive Oil instead of butter to make them healthier. So, here’s the recipe of these delectable Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins for you all.

Preparation Time 10-15 minutes
Baking Time 15-20 minutes
Makes 6 Muffins
Main Ingredients Plain Flour (Maida), Banana & Chocolate Chips
Main Equipment Oven
Course Breakfast/Dessert
Level Of Cooking Easy

Ingredients                                                                  

• Self-raising Flour or Plain Flour (Maida)  3/4 cup
• Banana  1 big
• Chocolate Chips  1/4th cup
• Olive Oil (alternative, cooking oil) 1/2 cup
• White Granulated Sugar  1/4 cup
• Plain Yogurt  2 tablespoons
• Milk  3 teaspoons
• Baking Soda  1/4 teaspoon
• Baking Powder  1/2 teaspoon
• Salt  a pinch
• Cinnamon Powder  1/4 teaspoon
• Vanilla or Banana Essence  1/2 teaspoon

Method

Step 1
Line a muffin tin/tray with muffin liners and set aside.

Step 2
In a large bowl, add the banana and mash it. Add olive oil and vanilla/banana essence and mix it. Now add the plain yogurt/curd, milk and sugar and mix until well incorporated.
Step 3
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder and salt and whisk until all combined.

Step 4
Preheat the oven. Drop the batter with a spoon or ice cream scoop on the muffin liners in the tin/tray until 3/4th full (Add a few chocolate chips after 1/4th full, then add the remaining batter). Bake at 200 degrees C/400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. (After 15 minutes, check if the muffins are done by inserting a toothpick or sharp knife in any muffin and if it comes out clean then it’s done. Otherwise, bake for another 5-7 minutes.)
Step 5
Bring the muffins out. Let them rest on the muffin tin/tray for 10-15 minutes before serving.

These Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins are made in olive oil which makes them a healthy breakfast option. A superb snack or tiffin box item for your kids as well.

Do let me know how they turn out when you try the recipe.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Cheers!!!
