About Whole Wheat Jaggery Muffins
Whole Wheat Jaggery Muffins are made using wheat flour as the base, sweetened with powdered jaggery. Milk and oil makes the muffins moist, baking powder and soda gives the rise and vanilla gives mild flavour. Jaggery gives a slight caramel like taste which makes it different from usual muffins.
The texture is soft and taste is so good yes its my kids approved recipe. They love it so much that they request me to make these muffins often. You can make it guilt free as it is loaded with goodness. You can also try with nuts, raisins or even chocolate chips to make it more exciting.
I have made these muffins so many times and now have updated with gram measures to have consistency always. These muffins are easily customisable according to your liking.

Since it uses jaggery, it is little more healthy compared to regular muffins. Jaggery has iron and minerals, and wheat flour is better than refined flour. Of course it is still a treat, but at least better than the white sugar cakes.
I usually bake this on a weekend when I feel like making something quick. The batter comes together in few minutes and then oven does the rest of the job. My kids like to eat these muffins warm, straight out of the oven, and it gets over really fast.

Eggless Whole Wheat Jaggery Muffins Ingredients
- Whole wheat flour - I have used regular wheat flour / atta that we use for making chapathi. It makes the muffins more filling and gives a nutty taste.
- Powdered Jaggery - Powdered jaggery gives sweetness and also adds a mild caramel taste. It is healthier compared to white sugar. Make sure to dissolve and strain to remove impurities.
- Milk - I have used boiled and cooled milk. It helps the batter come together.
- Cooking oil - I use refined oil with no strong flavor. This keeps the muffins soft and moist.
- Vanilla extract - I have added this for nice aroma and it balances the wheat and jaggery flavour.
- Baking powder and baking soda - I used both just a small measure. These help the muffins rise well and stay soft.
- Water - Water is added to adjust the consistency of the batter.
