And they don't have eggs, so you get to lick the spoon after mixing the batter!
Chocolate Muffins
(makes 6 muffins)
1 cup Flour
3/4 cup Sugar
scant 1/4 cup Cocoa
1/2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Buttermilk
1/8 cup Oil
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Chocolate Chips (or a mix of Chocolate Chips and Nuts to equal 1 cup)
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda and salt). Add the buttermilk, oil and vanilla and stir till combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and/or nuts.
And you can taste the batter because there are NO EGGS!
Divide the batter equally (or as equally as possible) between greased muffin cups (if you're using a non-stick pan, you don't need to grease it).
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Mmm. Delicious!
This is off to Madhuram @ Madhuram's Eggless Cooking for the Egg Substitute Event: Yogurt/Buttermilk.

muffins looks mouthwatering Arundhati.
i like the look of mud muffins... tell me something u dont have any baking powder on that recipe, only baking soda...n it still works? i thot if u make eggles cakes/muffins( i hardly ever do so i dnt really know this stuff) u need to add both b.p. and soda...
THese look delicious Arundathi! I like the name mud muffins - they look so gooe and decadent!
The "chocolate" and the "no eggs" jumped out me.:)
Maybe it looks like mud, but its chocolate and definitely gets my vote.
No eggs (although I do like the texture that eggs lend to a product like this) and not too much fat either! Looks good.:)
Wish I could pick one through my screen. Loved the line, you can lick the spoon since it has no eggs!!
That looks faaaaabulous! Yum yum yum.
that looks really really rich & delicious
Thanks everyone. Yes it was rich, delicious and decadent.
Churning the Word Mill - Never noticed that. Yes, it has only baking soda and it turned out fine. I don't know much about baking to know why it doesn't have bak.powder? hmm - wonder what baking powder is meant for in a recipe! will get back to you!
Hi Arundati,
Just look at that...the muffins are so sinful and just feel like biting into it :) Fantastic job girl! The eggless version really surprises me and it's a must try for sure.Snaps are cool!
Happy weekend!

Thanks, Homecooked
That looks fabulous Arundathi. Baking powder is a combination of an acid and alkali (mostly baking soda) which makes the baked goods to rise. Was this recipe eggless originally? If yes, since it has buttermilk already (which is an acidic ingredient) that along with baking soda does the job of baking powder. This is my opinion and I also don't know much about the science behind baking.
Thanks for sending it to the event. Since I'm in the process of moving, I'm not able to acknowledge it immediately.
I just know I have to try this! It is mouthwatering,and with my new foudn love for baking - this is a must try! Thanks Arundhati! Also really enjoyed reading you other blog on Rediscovering Chennai! A pleasure and absolutely addictive!

Madhuram - Thanks so much for the science behind the baking soda! That really helped.
Archana - Thanks a lot. It is definitely decadent. Glad you liked the other blog!
Ishani - Thanks.
I have to admit that I lick the spoon even when I use eggs (the eggs are fine here). They looks scrumptiously chocolatey! :)
Lorraine - Oh believe me that if the eggs were fine here, I'd be licking it too! :) Thanks!
what is scant cocoa ?
Sushmita - scant meaning scant cup - ie not filled up.
