For those who have a strong nose to eggs, these eggless muffin is a special treat for them. My parents follow a strict vegetarian diet and so do I. My passion towards baking lead me to bake at home. But today the quest was to make eggless choco chip muffins.
Eggless Muffins without condensed milk
How to make muffins without eggs looked tricky. The trick was to get the desired texture and fluffiness in the eggless muffins recipe. I know I could have simply replaced eggs with condensed milk, however, that will make the eggless muffin recipe too sweet.
Ok, then how to make eggless muffins at home?
Like others, I turned towards the internet. And when I searched eggless choco chip muffins, I had more than 4 million results in front of me. It looks easy to turn towards the internet, find a recipe and try to imitate them.
However, that’s actually not true. Most of the recipes do not work unless it is customized to the given environment. Ingredients, weather, and measurements make a lot of difference. I read a lot but the key to success was experimenting.
I had to make condensed milk free chocolate muffins without eggs.
Eggs white in a recipe acts as a binder and the egg yolk gives the required fat to the recipe. So I needed a substitute binder and fat content to make eggless chocolate muffins.
My substitute was milk.
Eggless Muffins
This eggless chocolate muffin recipe is my tried and tested full-proof and no-fail recipe. There is no compromise on the taste with this recipe of muffins without egg.
I have used the combination of vinegar and milk as an egg replacement. And to ensure that vinegar does not alter the taste, I have used unflavoured white vinegar.

How to make eggless chocolate muffins?
In a bowl, take Milk, Oil, Vanilla Essence and Sugar. Mix well until sugar dissolves.
Take another bowl. Mix All-purpose flour, Baking soda, Baking powder, Coffee powder and Cocoa powder in it. Sieve all the dry ingredients all together.
Don’t skip this step to save time. Sifting not only removes the unwanted particles but also helps to aerate the dry ingredients. This result in spongy cakes and muffins.
Mix all the dry ingredients into wet ingredients and fold gently to make a smooth batter. The batter should be lumps free and of pouring consistency. In case you feel to add more milk do that as every flour has different absorption capacity.
Add one tablespoon of Vinegar to the batter and keep the batter aside for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 °C for 10 minutes.
Take a muffin tray and arrange muffin liners in it.
Fill all the muffin molds up to ¾. Sprinkle some Choco chips.
Bake these muffins at 180 °C for 25 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test. Once done, take out baked muffins and let them cool.

I tried your muffins mam but upper side it is very crispy and inner side it’s not cooked what mistake I have done
Bake these at lower temprature.
Do we have to use both the coils in OTG
Use only bottom coil.
Hey I’m wondering can I bake this Ina 8 inch round cake tin? If so for how long and at what temperature? I’ve made this as muffins… they were divine!
Hello Simmi,
Yes, you can and for that time & temperature will remain the same.
Happy Baking!
I have tried muffin.. It was awsome.. Can we use wipping cream for decoration or butter cream
Hello Megha,
You may like to use any as per your taste.
Happy Baking!
I tried it and it was so so delicious… very easy recipe and yet very tasty
Thanks much for the feedback, Shivangi.
Cheers!
Sonia ji today I baked choco chip muffins… everything v good except it is too much sticking on the paper cups … what can b the reason??
The quality of liners and consistency of batter are two possible reasons.
Thanks
Sonia
Can we skip muffin liners to bake?
Muffin liners help in easy demolding.
turned our very soft and i like the simplicity of the process
thank you
Thanks much for the feedback, Sandhya.
Can I use almond almond for the choc chip muffins?
I baked them and they dropped down from the middle and were super chewy, could you tell what could have possibly gone wrong? As I would like to improvise and bake by this recipe later, thanks 🙂
Hello Neha,
Please share the oven setting you used for baking these muffins.
Is Vanilla essence necessary? Let me know pls 🙂
Thnak you in advance
You can skip that.
Your recipes and measurements are flawless… Tried this one today and it is soooo goood😀
Hi Dilpreet,
Thanks for your positive feedback.
Happy Baking!
Hi, I would like to try these but can you tell what changes would be in the recipe if I were to use whole wheat flour?
Vidhi,
You can experiment with whole wheat flour.
Happy Baking!
Sonia
Can water be replaced for milk
No Roshnee.
cam not add vanilla essence
What does that mean?
I think the vanilla essence would be more a flavour preference than needed for the baking to work. Should be fine to leave out.
can i use a normal baking tray instead of a muffin tray?
Regular baking try will not be able to hold the shape of the muffins.
In what ratio we can replace all purpose flour with wheat
Hello Harshitha,
Replacing APF with WWF is not the only thing that will make the recipe perfect. Whole Wheat will need you to look at other things as well.
Sonia
Hi Sonia..
Tried the recipe and it came out awesome.. Just that towards the end it was lil sticky to eat.. Any specific reason u think i hv gone wrong with? Otherwise texture is awesome and its dry also..
Ritu,
Demould the muffins immediately after baking else the base can be soggy.
Sonia
My muffins turned out a little dry. Can you tell me where I might have gone wrong? I baked in OTG. Taste was perfect only came little dry?
Hi Divya,
thick batter or over-baking can make the cake/muffin dry.
Happy Baking!
Can I use half a lemon instead of vinegar?
Yes, you can use lemon juice in same amount instead of Vinegar.
Happy Baking!
Sonia
These cupcakes turned out great. I used microwave convection oven at 160C for 20 minutes. There is a typo in the recipe card which asks for 1 tablespoon vanilla essence but your video asks to add a teaspoon.
Thanks for notifying. Corrections made.
Happy Baking!
Sonia
Hi,
As you mentioned you will find a lot of recipe in internet. some may work for you , some may not. Earlier i tried once to make muffins after reading from internet which i did not succeed. After reading your blog, i tried once again. it was a big hit for me. My husband and my toddler both liked it. Now i am also confident to try a new bakery recipe.
Thank you very much.
Hi Manaswini,
Thanks for trying my recipe and writing back to me. Your feedback just made my day.
Yes there are tons of recipes on internet. Once you understand the basics of baking then you can bake or modify any recipe accordingly.
Happy Baking!
Sonia
The muffins taste was amazing but the crust was hard. Qgca. I baked this in a conventional microwave oven at 150°for 20 min.
How can I fix this ma’am?
Aishwarya if you ever feel the crust of your cake or muffin is hard then you can brush them with fresh juice or sugar syrup immediately after baking. This will help to soften the crust.
Chocolate muffins turned out to be too good . Thanks Sonia mam
Good to hear that Sangita.
Happy Baking!
I baked on convection mode for 25 minutes. Turned out to be super soft. Thanks
Hi Sangita,
Thank you for such lovely feedback.
Happy Baking.
Hi Sonia

Sangita

I baked these muffins today. And just tweaked it 1 cup all purpose flour and half cup whole wheat flour,added two small mashed bananas as well.. They came out perfect. Thank you!
That’s great.
Thanks
Sonia
Can we skip vinegar??
No.
Hi, I used convection mode at 180° for 25 minutes. But it is still undone and tooth pick doesn’t come out clean. Where would I have gone wrong? Could you please tell
Dear Saranya,
If it was undone then maybe you should have baked it for a little longer time.
Thanks
Tried this recipe, just the way it is, the muffins came out perfect! Texture, softness,flavours, sweetness, everything is spot on! Guests loved it, they took the left over muffins as well. Thanks for this recipe
Hi Richa,
I am glad to know that your guests loved the muffins. I am sure you added extra love to those muffins while baking and that’s made those muffins tastes even better 🙂
Thanks
Sonia
Today I tried baking the chocolate muffins..instead of choco chips I used walnuts and it was awesome..thanks
Sounds too good. Thanks for writing Sujata.
Regards
Sonia
Hi..
How can we double this recipe. I used this to bake chocolate cake. It turned out very good.
double the amount of ingredients to double the recipe.
Thanks
Sonia
I made the cupcakes in microwave convection mode at 160°. But the top is a little hard. What can be done to fix it?
Shivani,
Maybe your oven temperature was too high for muffins. DOn’t worry in case the crust is hard, just brush the muffins with any fresh juice and serve.
Happy Baking
Sonia
Thanks for the reply Sonia. The recipe is really nice. For the hard crust , I brushed the muffins with a little warm milk while they were still hot. They turned out very well and a became new favorite at home. 😊 Yayyy!! Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Shivani
Happy to hear that you were able to fix the problem. Keep baking and keep sharing.
Sonia
Sonia,
Which oil do you suggest for baking? Can I use extra virgin olive oil??
Yes you can.
Hi. Muffins turned out nice. Very soft. But don’t know why it tasted little blend. I used sugar powder as per measurements.
Hi Archana,
Most likely the culprit would be the quality of the cocoa powder. Also, my recipes are with moderate sweetness, if you need the recipe to be sweeter, add two tbs of sugar extra.
Regards
Sonia
Muffins were yummy but got a little hard at yhe bottom how can i solve that?
Divya,
Place the baking tray in the middle rack to avoid muffins getting hard at the bottom.
Sonia
Hi, what if I want to make about 30-40 muffins…. can I make the batter at one go and bake one by one?
Hello Vaishali,
No, you cannot do that. Make batter in batches and then bake them. Baking powder and baking soda react immediately and long kept batter will not stay good.
Sonia
I made 6 muffins using wheat flour. Turned out very well.
Thank-you!
Sounds too good Maya. Thanks for your comments.
Regards
Sonia
Dear sonia…
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe….
I have tried many recipes before but couldn’t succeed… everytime something or the other went wrong…
But with your recipe the muffins were awesome….I’m so excited…
Thankx once again..
Gurneet, This is one of the best comment for me. I am glad my recipe worked for you. Thanks for making my day.
Regards
Sonia
Tried the recipe it turn good. but top is little hard. what would be the reason for the same.also from inside it was little uncooked.
Dear Mansi,
1. Did you bake the muffins using top and bottom rods of the oven?
2. Did you do run the toothpick test?
Regards
Sonia
sonia
yea i use top and bottom rod both for oven.
yes i done that test but that came out clean
Manasi, you should bake a cake with the bottom rod only. Try it and let me know if that solved your problem.
– Sonia
can we put less sugar n instead of oil we can use butter
Dear Kalpana,
The sugar amount mentioned in the recipe is already a moderated one. If you further reduce the sugar content, you may risk in making bland muffins.
As far as butter is concerned, since we have not experimented the recipe with butter, so it is not possible for me to correctly guide you. If you plan to experiment, I will highly encourage you to share your experience with me too.
Regards
Sonia
Can this be baked in microwave mode ?
If you mean Microwave Convection, then yes. otherwise no.
Can we keep it refrigerator at night and have it next day ?
yes.
Both coil means top and bottom to use as I don’t known I freshers
Yes Priya, both coils mean top and bottom both coils.
Is the milk suppose to be warm or cold??
Hi Priya,
The milk is supposed to be at room temperature.
Sonia
Hi i made these but they are bit hard on the top dont know what i have done wrong
Hi Shalini, Its tricky to answer this question, until I know the complete situation. Just to check, let me know if you used both the coils (top and bottom) when you baked your muffins.
Sonia
I just brushed little warm milk on them they became moist. Thanks for the recipe muffins are really very yummy
Sounds Good Shalini. Thanks for updating.
Hey Sonia, I am dying to give these a go but I was just wanting to know so you use malt vinegar or white in the recipe? Thanks😀
Dear Tasha,
I have used white vinegar.
Happy Baking!
Hi
I want to bake about 12 cupcakes.
Could you help with the measures?
How much extra of flour, sugar, etc will be required ?
And can I bake the’original’ recipe in a loaf tin? Any changes required here?
Hi Chitra,
At the bottom of the recipe, you will find the recipe card. The card is currently showing the measurements of 9 muffins. You will be able to change 9 to 12 and all other ingredients measurements will automatically adjust accordingly. Hope that helps.
Also, if you like to bake this in a loaf tin instead of muffin tray, you will need to adjust the baking time.
Sonia
Thank u Sonia…. This is easy recipe. Baked for my kids tiffin today n hoping he like them.
Super. This makes my start of the day a perfect one. Why not share your pics of the bread on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/sonlicious/
– Sonia
HI can we use whole wheat instead of all purpose flour? Thanks
Hi Manasvi,
Yes, you can use Whole Wheat flour.
Sonia
How about storage of muffins?
Hi Anishka,
You can keep the muffins on shelf of a day and then you can store keep in refrigerator.
Sonia
Can I use walnut instead of chocolate chips
Hi Arti,
Yes you can use walnuts instead of chocolate chips.
Sonia
Can we bake it as a cake.. if yes what’s d size of d pan to be used.. and does the temperature remains the same and also the baking time..TIA
Hi Vidhya,
You you can make cake from the same batter, however add 1/4th cup of milk extra. Take a pan of 8″ and bake it for 25 minutes at 180 degree celsius.
Sonia

Hey!
I wanted to ask what to do when the paper liners turns oily after baking. I mean they became brown like the color of the actual cupcake.🤷🏻♀️
The quality of baking liners could be the culprit. Try the recipe with some good quality muffin liners.
Thanks
Sonia
