Preparation
Step 1
Eggless Fruit and Nut Chocolate Muffins. Yes, you heard that right, chocolate muffins, that too, egg-less, and with lots of fruits and nuts of your choice. Can muffins get any better than this. Add in the dried fruits and nuts of your choice, dates, apricot, figs, pistachio, walnut, almond or cashew. Let your imagination run wild and make the muffins a work of art!!
When I shared the whole wheat muffins last week, I was totally surprised that I didn’t share my favorite eggless fruit and nut chocolate muffins till now. This is the batter that I use for a variety of cakes. I always use this as a base for the chocolate cake more than the version with the egg. I love how easy it is to make and how it never fails me. Follow the instructions to the “T”, and, in sha ALLAH, you will never fail with this cake
I have added dates and dried apricots for dried fruits, and walnut and almonds for nuts. You can add in any dried fruits and nuts of your choice. I add whatever is available in my pantry at the time of making the muffins. I, even, add chocolate chips sometimes and at other times a dash of nutella. Yummy…
