Main Ingredients & Substitutes

Wet Ingredients:

Greek Yogurt – is the great egg substitute and makes the muffins incredibly moist. Greek yogurt is thicker, creamier and tangier than the regular yogurt. If Greek yogurt is not available, then you can easily substitute it with curd (dahi).

If using curd, then place the curd in thin messed sieve or colander for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can tie the curd tightly in a muslin cloth and hang it high. Doing this, will give you THICK curd, which will be good for baking. If the curd is not thick, then the muffins will turn soggy upon baking.

Light Brown Sugar – moist sugar with fine, quick dissolving tiny crystals and a light brown in appearance. You can replace light brown sugar with dark brown sugar, jaggery powder or castor sugar. The taste, texture and color of the muffins depends on the sweetener used in the recipe.

Rice Bran Oil – is versatile and makes an excellent alternative for butter. Adds UNIQUE flavour to muffins and aerates the muffins, making them light and tender.

You can use any unflavoured vegetable oil instead of butter. Sunflower and canola oil are best substitutes for butter in baking.

Milk – the main purpose of adding milk to muffins, is to give NICE moist texture. The ratio of milk totally depends on the yogurt. Milk moistens the batter, add color and flavour.

Dry Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Flour – easily available in grocery stores. Whole wheat flour and atta are different. Do not get confused. Atta cake is thick and dense, where as whole wheat flour cakes are soft and moist. Sometime back, I have seen whole wheat pastry flour in an online grocery store. Whole wheat pastry flour is more better than regular wheat flour. If you can get it, then use whole wheat pastry flour.

Dark Chocolate Chips – One quick TIP. When using chocolate chips in muffins or cakes, sprinkle some flour over them and sieve. Doing this, chocolate chips will not SINK to the bottom of the muffins. They will remain suspended at the top. And one more tip, make sure chocolate chips are at room temperature.

As you can see in the pictures, my chocolate chips sunk to the bottom of the MUFFINS. I learnt my lesson and hence sharing these tips with you.
