During this time of the year we are pure vegetarians. So I have diverted my attention to vegetarian dishes and paratha's but I have to admit I miss my baking trysts. Every recipe that I had bookmarked for baking had listed eggs as an ingredient. That's when I decided to embark on a dedicated hunt for egg-less baking recipes!
Tadaa and here is one! The recipe used peanut butter and it piqued my curiosity. So I put on my baking shoes and baked my first batch of harmless vegan muffins. They were not really sweet but pretty soft and very pea-nutty :D I love peanut butter and baking, so it goes without saying that it was indeed a super easy recipe & most importantly a lovely experience. Hope you too enjoy baking these munchkin muffins!
Egg-less Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins
Recipe adapted from Divinetaste
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Peanut butter (crunchy)
2 Tbsp oil
1 cup Plain flour
1/3 cup Cocoa powder
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
3/4 cup muscovado sugar or any dark soft sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup water
Method:
Method: In a skillet, on a moderate flame, roast the peanuts until golden brown. Alternatively, heat an oven to 200 C and roast for about ten minutes or until they darken, shaking them a bit half way through so that they roast evenly. Allow the peanuts to cool a bit and then place them in a blender with the oil and salt and process until you get peanut butter. If you like it chunky then blend it only to get a smooth but chunky butter.
As I had said earlier, this is not really sweet, so maybe you could add some frosting to enhance the sweetness. Thank you Anushruti for this eggless recipe :)
