LET’S TALK INGREDIENTS
The ingredients used are simple. No fancy ingredients are used to make this fabulous muffins. You only need a few basic ingredients which are readily available in most if our pantry to make this absolutely awesome vanilla chocolate chunk muffins.
● Flour – The recipe uses all purpose flour.
● Baking Powder & Baking Soda – Used both the leavening agents to give to create a significant rise.
● Salt – A dash of salt added to enhance the flavor.
● Curd/Yogurt – Another key ingredient to achieve the softness and lightness in cakes and muffins especially on eggless bakes. I have used plain thick curd aka yogurt as a substituteto egg. I recommend using fresh curd which is not very sour.
● Sugar – Used granulated sugar to sweeten these muffins.
● Oil – Sunflower oil is used in the recipe. Oil produces a moist and tender muffin.
● Milk – Milk adds plenty of moisture and lightens up the crumb. I recommend using whole milk for the extra richness.
● Vanilla Essence – For the added flavor use vanilla essence. I use vanilla in most of my cakes as it’s a versatile flavor which goes well with most things.
● Chocolate – The recipe uses dark chocolate. These wouldn’t be chocolate chunk muffins without plenty of chocolate chunks! I chopped the dark chocolate into chunks for this recipe, but you can use mini chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips as per your preference and availability.

NOTES: USEFUL TIPS AND SUBSTITUTION
● Always preheat your oven. It is very important to bake any baking goodies in preheated oven.
● For the yogurt, to make this cake vegan you can use non-dairy yogurt or 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. For the milk, you use non-dairy milk like almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or simply use water.
● To make this cake gluten-free I recommend using a gluten-free flour or mix of gluten-free flours.
● For the flour, you may substitute whole wheat flour with the same amount of all purpose flour or 50-50 % of both. You can also use pastry flour.
● For the oil, I’ve used sunflower oil. You can use any flavorless or neutral tasting oil like vegetable oil, canola oil etc instead of sunflower oil.
● You may substitute the oil with 100 gms butter.
● You may substitute the brown sugar with refined sugar or any other healthier sweeteners like cane sugar, jaggery, coconut sugar etc.
● You can use ½ teaspoon eno instead of baking soda.
● You can also add a mixture of any dry fruits and nuts of your choice.
● All ingredients should be at room temperature.
● Sieve the flour or dry ingredients, this helps in getting a nice texture to the cake.
● Each oven reacts differently so baking time may differ since the temperature varries from oven to oven.
● Do not open the oven atleast before 15 minutes of baking and frequently opening oven to check the cake while baking is in process is not advisable.
● Be careful not to over bake the muffins. The muffins are done baking when a toothpick or skewer test past through.
● Stir the batter by gently and mix until just combined. A spoon or spatula does the work. Be careful not to over mix the batter, as that can produce tough muffins.
