Choco Chip Muffins – The name itself tempts me so much…I have already tried cupcakes using butter so wanted to have a chocochip muffin with no eggs and butter and they turned out so soft and delicious. Curd as egg replacer has never let me down and this recipe is another proof for it.Do try it for yourself and treat yourself with these soft delicious goodies 🙂
Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Makes : 16 muffins
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: World
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: World
Maida(All purpose Flour) – 1 and 1/2 cups
Chocolate Chips – 1/2 cup (I used dark choco chips)
Plain yogurt(Curd) – 1 cup
Granulated Sugar – 3/4 cup
Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
Baking powder – 1 and 1/4 tsp
Cooking oil – 1/2 cup
Vanilla essence – 1 and 1/2 tsp
Method:
- Sieve maida twice and keep aside.Cream sugar and curd until sugar completely dissolves. Add baking powder, baking soda to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- Leave aside for 5 mins and you can see the bubbles appearing. Now add vanilla essence,cooking oil and mix well.
- Next slowly add maida in portions at a time and blend with wet ingredients. Beat well with a whisk until creamy and thick.Add choco chips and give a quick mix.
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C for 10mins. Meanwhile lay the muffin liners in the muffin pan .Spoon the batter into each muffin liner till 3/4th of the liner.Top it with few more choco chips.Bake in preheated oven at the same temperature and bake it for 20-25 mins or till a fork inserted into the muffins comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool down in wirerack and then store or enjoy it warm 🙂
Serve it for breakfast or as a snack!
My Notes:
- As my muffin liners were small I had to bake it in 2 batches, 6 in each batch so got 12 small muffins.My first batch puffed up evenmore…as I had to rest the batter till the first batch was done the second batch muffins didnt puff up so well when compared to the first batch. The pics shown in this post are from the 2nd batch.But tastewise no difference at all. But I suggest you to bake it as soon as the batter is prepared, dont let it rest.
- Use curd at room temperature.Do not try to reduce oil and curd, I tried once to reduce oil and the cake was a great flop 😉
- Also after the batter is ready, dont allow the batter to sit for more than he preheating time as baking soda reacts faster.
- Dont be skeptical in using curd, the taste of curd is totally not shown in the cake. You can use homemade curd or use nestle curd which is very thick and works good too.
- You can use icing sugar too, I used normal sugar only. I felt 3/4 cup of sugar was enough but the orginal recipe called for 1 cup. If you have a very sweet tooth then use 1 cup of sugar.
- This recipe yields 12 small muffins or 6 large muffins.

the muffins tht i prepared tasted good….:)
but the outer was hard and inner was soft…
y is it like tht can u help me ….
Not sure why….but only if it is overbaked it will turn out hard
Hi…. its a winner recipe. Look good and taste lovely…super soft. I have some queries for you. Hope you dont mind. My choco chips sank to the bottom- dont know what went wrong. ofcourse , this did not spoil the taste of the cupcakes! the other thing is, if we use paper cups for the cakes, do we still need to bake them in tins or can we bake in the paper cup itself? If i want to make chocolate choco chip cupcakes, in what proportion do i add cocoa powder?
Sorry, for so many questions.Thanks a lot
If the choco chips sink to the bottom then next time may be mix a tsp of flour with it and then add this will avoid sinking to the bottom….If you use muffin liners(papercups) then you can bake the cake in muffin tray as I have did…Please check my choco cupcakes recipe that I have already posted…
Hi..i tried the muffins. They turned out nice. Only one prob… the batter fitted into 15 small cup moulds..and my oven can take in only 9 at a time. What do u think i should do in future…make half the amount of batter, or first bake one batch and the the other? Making the batter two will be a bit of a hassle , hai na ?
Its better to bake it once the batter is prepared if it rests then the cake iwll not rise….Kindly check my notes section
Lovely recipe. I will be soon posting it on my blog giving recipe source.

Tried out this recipe with sugar free natura 1/2 cup instead of regular sugar and multi grain atta. They were delicious. Thanx so much
Can Oil be replaced by butter
I am not sure Dhruva…I followed the org recipe and didnt experiment much
Y both baking soda and baking powder is used. Is it compulsory to use both. Can we use baking soda alone ?
Yes we need to use both…
Hii there… Very nice n easy to make recipe. I tried it and the taste was good but the muffins became hard at the top. Also they were oily unlike the ones u have shown as pics. Can u suggest something to improve? I used d exact recipe… Thanks ya..
If it is hard on the top may be its overbaked, try changing the rack and next time may be you can reduce the baking time by 5-7mins. Reg oil, I am not really sure as I havent found any issues as this the base recipe I am using for most of my bakes.
can I use home made yogurt (does not have fat) from double toned milk.
Yes you can…
hi can i use self raising flour instead of flour+baking powder+baking soda?
Yes you can….
Hi, I am new to your blog. Tried these muffins, they came out well….thanks for a simple and tasty recipe.
what can we use other than oil in the muffin??
Try with butter…..
One of the best muffin recipe.But mam insistent of dark chocolate chips can i use any other chocolate?
