Steps to bake the thing
- Take the pan and grease it with some melted butter. On the side take 2 cups of flour and add 2tbsp of melted butter. Keep the setup aside.

They are very soft and crumbly texture and no one will come to know that these are eggless and baked with mere dry ingredients available at everyone’s house. Not to mention that they are as easy as the first ones to make. You can serve them with simple tea, coffee or milk.
You will need:
- Coco powder
- Chocolate chips or milk chocolate pieces
- All-purpose flour
- Melted butter
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla essence
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cupcake lining
- Lime juice
Mix the dry ingredients as before and stir completely till there are no lumps in the batter
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes and place the tin pan coated with melted butter on the insides.
Mix the vanilla extract, lime juice and add on top a tbsp of oil or melted butter. With the help of a fork mix the ingredients to avoid burning at the top.
- Add tbsp of baking powder and baking soda each to help the bread rise nicely.
2. Take powdered sugar and add to the batter. Whisk it properly so that the sugar gets emulsified in the batter. If not done properly the bread will taste too sweet in patches
3. Place the cupcake lining in the tin and apply a little butter so that it does not stick and can easily be removed.
4. Now pour the batter carefully and on top of each section of cupcake or muffin add some chocolate chips. You can break the pieces of milk chocolate and add them to the batter previously.
5. Make sure that you do not overbake the muffins. This will make them solid and harder to bite. Your guests will not be appreciating solid and rocky muffins on the tray to avoid this from happening make sure you add 2 tbsp of milk. This will make the insides juicy and soft.
6. After they get baked, check them with a toothpick. Th toothpick should either come out clean or with little crumbs of bread. It means that the cake has been baked perfectly.
7. You are done! Serve these with milk if you have kids at home or younger sibling or with tea as an evening snack. Since these are home made so they do not contain any preservatives or harsh chemicals. also, they are very easy to bake and your vegan folks will love this when you serve it to them!
