Notes
Tips for Bakery Style Vanilla Muffins
- Use any odourless/neutral oil only, otherwise the muffins smell different.
- For a rich taste, oil can be replaced with melted butter too.
- Sifting the dry ingredients is a must to avoid lumps and it helps in even mixing.
- Do not over whisk the batter as the muffins turn dense. If there are 1 or 2 lumps, it is ok, as it disappears when it gets baked.
- Fill the muffin liner to 3/4th level only, otherwise the batter overflows when it gets baked.
- For a variation, 1/4 cup of choco chips can be added to the batter and made as a Vanilla Choco chips Muffins.
- The same batter can be poured in a loaf tin and baked as a plain vanilla cake.
- Don’t over bake the muffins (maximum 20 mins), else it turns chewy and gets burnt on top.
- This Eggless Vanilla Muffins Recipe stays good for 2 to 3 days at room temperature.
- Baking powder cannot be substituted with baking soda, both are different.
- Ensure baking powder and baking soda is within the expiry date, else the cupcakes won't raise and turn spongy.
- Once you prepare the batter, bake it immediately, otherwise, the baking powder de-activate and the muffins won't raise.
- Never open the door of the oven in the first 10 minutes of baking.

Eggless Vanilla Muffins Recipe
Hi.. i followed your recipe to make eggless vanilla muffins. But i faced with couple of issues.
1. I baked in micro-oven at 200 deg for 20 mins ..the muffins rose very nicely but they r white still & top layer is quite crisp. Why did the brown colour did not come?
2. Even though i did not whisk too long but inside looks dense. I did not get soft spongy feel.
Hi, Ensure to preheat the oven, then check if you have added water or oil a little extra, or maybe extra baking soda which in this case the muffins rise at first and then collapse. Finally, overmixing with a lot of air pockets inside which may be one of the reasons. Moreover, I used brown sugar and set the oven temperature to 180 c. Also, you can brush the muffins with milk ( at room temperature ) and bake for another 5 minutes at last, which gives a golden color top. Hope these points help you, thanks and have a nice day 🙂
