Chocolate Chip and Nut Muffins by DK on Apr 12, 2010
Recently, I had a little visitor, who loves chocolate and walnuts. Every time he visits me, I have some chocolate chip cookies ready and waiting for him. This time for a change, I thought I will make something else for him with his fav. ingredients. I had been meaning to try this recipe which I flicked from a colleague who bought it for one of our work meetings. They were an instant hit and got over before we all could blink few times. So, I thought why not give it a try.
I just made one small change to the recipe. Instead of using 2 whole eggs, I used 4 egg whites. Other than that, I kept to the recipe cos its that perfect. These are utterly moist with an absolutely addictive topping of chocolate chips, sugar, nuts and cinnamon. Its hard to stop at one - in fact, even I ate 2 of them myself, inspite of me not liking chocolates that much. My muffins were over too and I was lucky that I could save 1 of them for my husband! (Nope, not miserly. trust me! He doesn't like chocolate either!! Weird couple we sure are ;))
Without further adieu, here's the recipe. You can of course use your own substitute for the eggs in the recipe

- 1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour (maida)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method
1.
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
2.
Add the egg whites slowly and beat it along with the butter mixture.
3.
Add yogurt and vanilla and mix well.
4.
Combine the flour, soda,powder and salt together in another bowl
5.
Add it slowly into the creamed mixture until moistened.
6.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
7.
Line a muffin pan with paper-lined cups and fill it 2/3rd full with the batter.
8.
Combine the topping ingredients in a bowl.
9.
Sprinkle this mixture over the batter.
10.
Bake them at 350F for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool it for few minutes before removing them from the pan.
I think they will keep well if stored for couple of days - but I cant be too sure since there were none for me to store!

I'm definitely gonna try this soon...I have a question though in general if u have a recipe that calls for more than one eggs which substitute is better when it comes to baking light n fluffy cakes or muffins??? I have gone through your egg substitute chart but they are all for one egg...once I tried a recipe of muffins and substitute the 2 eggs with one tbsp. vinegar and one tsp baking powder but the end result wasn't gud...the taste was chalky I guess that's bcos of the excessive baking powder.pls help
my ques again are 1.if u need to substitute more than one eggs what would be the best substitute from ur chart?
2. to compensate the need of 2-4 eggs can we mix n match two or more substitutes together in a recipe ?if yes that wat would be the ideal mix n match ?
pls shed some light to these questions from your experience.sorry for too long message.

Thanks for the recipe! These muffins are delicious and my little girls love them a lot. I don't have the plain yogurt at home, so I substitute with blueberry Greek yogurt (low fat less sugar version). And it still works out beautifully. I will make it again for my church event next week. ;)

Hi DK,
I have same question and doubts wat pinky has and another is where would we get chocolate chips.
THanks ,
aarti
I do now own an Convection oven hence I do not personally know the solutions to the queries. But I have guest post at chef in you by a resident expert who uses m/w convection oven to create her bakes. Pls read this post. It might help u with your queries. http://chefinyou.com/2010/05/baking-in-microwave-convection-oven/. as for the chocolate chips, I am not sure where you live. In the US we get in any of the local stores. You should be able to find in any stores which has baking products. Ask your local large grocery shops for details. They might be able to help - or else post this question to the Chef In You forum - http://www.facebook.com/ChefInYou with your location. Someone from that location might be able to help
