Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins

Gorgeous spotted beauties that were also rightly moist and extra spongy!

Ever since I started baking, I have always wanted to gift someone something home baked. Well, that dream came true yesterday and first ever attempt to bake something to gift someone actually turned out awesome! Whether or not my friends enjoyed it (I hope they must have), I am totally proud of these muffins :-)


Initially I had plans to bake brownies but then somehow bumped into this recipe and just gave it a try. You have to touch it and bite into it to see how spongy it can be :-) So, give a try and be amazed! I wouldn't say this is quick, but pretty easy; everything from preparing the batter, lazing around, baking and then clicking snaps would have taken me 1.25 hours.


Ingredients

Salted butter - 100 gm, softened
Sugar - 12 tablespoon
Egg whites - 4 large, lightly beaten
Yogurt - 10 tablespoon
Vanilla essence - 1/2 tablespoon
All purpose flour - 2 Cups (28 tablespoon)
Baking powder - 1 tablespoon
Baking soda - 1/2 tablespoon
Semi-sweet chocolate chips - 8 tablespoons and more for topping



Preparation

1. Line the muffin pan with paper cups.

Cooking

2. In a large bowl, using and electric mixer, mix together butter and sugar well, until pale.
3. Add the egg whites and beat in medium speed until it turns creamy with firm soft peaks.
4. Add vanilla essence and yogurt and beat in low speed for a couple of minutes until well combined.
5. Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda and fold in gently to combine.
6. Add the chocolate chips and fold in to get a thick batter.
7. Pre-heat oven at 180 degree Celsius. Spoon in the batter in the muffin cups leaving space for the batter to rise. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
8. Bake for 25-30 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Serving

9. Serve as breakfast muffins or just as I did, pack it up as a gift!
