Few days back, I made these chocolate muffins just because I didn’t want to bake a full-fledged chocolate cake but wanted to eat something nice and chocolatey. So I decided to make these and I loved them so much, I immediately decided of posting this recipe here and sharing it with you guys.
So I do not have the step-by-step pictures of making these, but the recipe is easy enough to understand.
How to make Eggless Chocolate Muffins without condensed milk?
One of the best egg substitute out there is condensed milk, but it not a common pantry item and mostly reserved for rare occasions of making sweets at home.
And so, I have skipped this ingredient from this Chocolate Muffins recipe so now it is simpler and convenient to make anytime.
We are going to be using the next best egg substitute after condensed milk to make these muffins and that is yogurt. You can use store-bought yogurt for making these but homemade yogurt works perfectly too.
Ingredients for making eggless chocolate muffins
These Chocolate Muffins use the below ingredients in addition to leavening and other supplementary ingredients:
- Cocoa Powder: Use a good quality cocoa powder like this one to make sure the chocolate flavor comes out perfectly in your muffins. If you wish to make these in to light chocolate muffins instead of dark, you can use half the amount of cocoa powder without any other changes to the recipe.
- All-purpose Flour: I have made these muffins with 100% all-purpose flour but this can be substituted with 25% whole wheat flour and 75% all-purpose flour keeping other ingredients the same.
- Yogurt: As I have said earlier, homemade yogurt works perfectly in this recipe and I have made these muffins using homemade yogurt set overnight.
- Milk & Butter: Using melted butter gives these muffins a rich buttery taste. In case you want to use oil, you can add 30ml refined odorless oil keeping other ingredients the same. Use room temperature milk.
- Dark Chocolate Chips: These are optional but add a lot of taste to the muffins and make them Double Chocolate Muffins as we add second form of chocolate to the recipe in addition to cocoa powder. I use these chocolate chips for my baking.
Instructions for making the batter
These eggless chocolate muffins are easy to make and you can whip up the batter quickly. You just need 10-15 minutes to make the batter if you are a beginner and 20 minutes of baking time.
- Measure the butter and melt it. Let it cool. Do not add hot butter to the batter. Do this step first so you have enough time to cool it.
- Measure and sieve the dry ingredients and keep aside.
- Beat the yogurt so it becomes light in texture. This helps to aerate the cake well that means, it helps to make it fluffy.
- Add all ingredients properly to the bowl of yogurt step by step and not all at once to make the batter.
- Fill the muffin liners up to the 3/4th mark and bake for 18-20 minutes.

Why are these muffins also called Double Chocolate Muffins?
Let me explain this to you in simple words:
Whenever you use an ingredients two times in a recipe but in different forms, you can use the adjective “Double” with the recipe name.
Since we already have added Cocoa Powder to the batter but are also adding another form of Chocolate in the form of chocolate chips, this recipe can also be called as Double Chocolate Muffins.
This is the same technique I have used to make this Double Strawberry Cake with fresh strawberries.
