Eggless Brownie Muffins ~ One Bowl Recipe

I don’t know if it’s the Christmas season or just me, but the baking bug has definitely bitten me and I am baking at least thrice a week these days. Normally I don’t bake more than twice a month – perhaps this is the reason why you don’t see more than a bread recipe every month and a stray post of a baked goodie. Of late I have been bringing a lot of cookbooks from the library and I can’t help but oggle at the recipes and the beautiful pictures, page after page! I have bookmarked so many recipes that I want to try in the upcoming days because this is my way of letting go and indulging. Come January I will revert to my old self of being a conscious and cautious eater simply because I belong to that category of people who can put on weight by even dreaming about food, let alone eat it 🙁 So after a whole year of eating sensibly I simply want to let my heart take over and pig out – sorry, diet conscious people 😀 I need to ‘let it go’ (Frozen style) at least sometime no?

I know I will pay for the indulgence heavily once the festivities end, but then I am also a person who can build up an extremely strong will if I decide to go on a strict diet for a brief period of time. Ok, shush! I should stop talking so much about diets and all that during such a happy time! Coming back to today’s recipe, I was flipping through Tarla Dalal’s book on chocolate and came across a recipe for brownie muffins and the name caught my attention. However, I tinkered around with the recipe and arrived at my own way of making them eggless as I didn’t have condensed milk which was the egg replacer in the recipe. I am quite happy that the muffins turned out really wonderful as I don’t bake eggless at all.

Although I get a lot of request for eggless bakes I don’t quite like to do that. My son dislikes eating eggs in any form so I like to bake with eggs as that’s the only way I can get him to eat them without a fuss. Also, at some point I didn’t like the eggless recipes I worked with and since the hubby prefers bakes with eggs I kinda tossed out the idea of baking without eggs.

When I served these muffins with some vanilla ice cream he was bowled over. He said these were one of the best he’d ever eaten as he is not much of a cake fan but loves brownies a lot, especially served hot with some ice cream.

I guess this is the best recipe you can try if you are looking for an eggless cake/brownie recipe or particularly if you are looking for egg free recipes due to intolerances. I do hope you enjoy them!
