Watermelon muffins with fresh watermelon are the perfect summer dish which is great to serve as a snack, for tiffin box or have it with your morning or evening tea or coffee. These delicious, soft and moist muffins are sure to be a hit for your kids and even adult will enjoy it as much as the kids.

We’ve been cooking and baking more since we’re spending a lot of time at home now. This has been a great way to spend quality time together. Well, my experiment with food continues and this time it is fresh watermelon in my bakes. Yes! It is watermelon muffins which is eggless and made with whole wheat flour and cane sugar as sweetner. I experimented and it worked! My kiddo is a picky eater but with the first small bite itself he loved it and finished off couple of muffins.

These muffins are made with regular pantry staples that most pantry already have like flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, essence and chocolate chips. Since watermelon is in season and I had a whole watermelon in my fridge I decided to experiment something with fresh watermelon. I thought it’s a great idea to make something that reminded of summer since the whether is warm and the heat is scorching higher.

These whole wheat fresh watermelon muffins are something to die for. The combination of sweetness from the chocolate and watermelon worked really well. Watermelons adds colour, freshness and sweetness to the muffins. This is a healthier recipe. I have used whole wheat flour instead of refined flour, fresh watermelon which adds to most of the sweetness in the muffis and cane sugar to add in sweetness to the muffins.

LET’S TALK INGREDIENTS

This super easy and refreshing watermelon muffins uses ingredients most commonly found in our kitchen pantry which we regularly use in baking. Let’s go through briefly the ingredients that goes inside the muffins.

● Whole Wheat Flour – For a healthier version used whole wheat flour.

● Watermelon – Used fresh sweet watermelon. Riped watermelon are best for this recipe which adds sweetness, freshness and colour.

● Chocolate Chips – Semi-sweet standard sized chocolate chips is used.

● Cane Sugar – Cane sugar yields soft muffins and adds incredible flavor and texture to the muffins. It’s a healthier option too.

● Milk – Used whole milk. Recommend to use whole milk for extra richness, taste and texture.

● Oil – I have used sunflower oil. You can use any flavorless oil. I prefer using oil than butter for a soft and moist outcome.

● Leavening agents – Both baking powder & baking soda is used in the recipe to give it the perfect amount of lift.

● Vinegar – Vinegar plays a huge role in rising. The reaction of vinegar with the baking soda release carbon dioxide, which helps the cake rise as they bake.

● French Vanilla Essence – This is amazing flavor from Ossoro. You need to try this one. I’ll add a link below from where you can buy, if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission.

● Salt – A dash of salt is always good in baked goodies. The salt helps to balance out the sweetness too.

VARIATIONS

● The other way to use watermelon in this recipe is – In a pan add the watermelon peices and cook over low-medium heat till the moisture is absorb completely and watermelon peices turns soft. Grind or blend them into a puree and use. You need to either increase the watermelon peices or use the same amount as mentioned in the recipe and increase the milk in the recipe to adjust the batter consistency. I would suggest to use 2-2½ cup watermelon peices if using this method, that would add more watermelon flavor to the muffins.
● If you want more nutty taste and texture, add nut sof your choice in the batter once the batter is ready. Lightly coat the nuts with flour and just throw in along with the chocolate chips and give a quick gentle mix.
● You can either use nuts or chocolate chips or a mixture of both.
● Use nut of your choice like pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashewnuts etc. You can also use mixed nuts as per your palate preference.
● You can also make a simple watermelon muffins by just omitting the chocolate chips.

SUBSTITUTIONS:

● Whole wheat flour can be substituted with all purpose flour (maida) or you can use 50-50 of both.
● You can use white sugar, brown sugar or jaggery instead of cane sugar.
● You may use butter instead of oil or any flavorless oil will work.
● To make it vegan use dairy free milk like almond milk or just water. You can also omit the milk and completely use watermelon puree or juice.
● You may make this cake with egg. Use 2 eggs and omit the milk, baking soda and vinegar from the recipe.
● French vanilla essence can be substituted with regular vanilla essence or extract.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The easiest and fuss-free way to mash banana is using a bowl/plate and a fork. Just peel the bananas, add them in a bowl and mash it with a fork or a potato smasher. Alternatively you can also grind it or blend it using a blender or food processor. But this creates an extra work of washing this equipment after use. It is not necessary to mash the bananas completely smooth, but if you like it completely smooth then use a food processor.

If you are looking for the absolutely perfect eggless chocolate muffins recipe with a no-fail guarantee then this is it! I can vouch for these decadent chocolate muffins which are made without any eggs yet turned out super-moist with a melt-in-mouth texture!

Eggless baking was not my forte, but after I found this eggless chocolate muffins recipe on YouTube on this beautiful channel and tried it twice, things have changed for good!

I am seriously amazed how moist and tender these eggless chocolate muffins turned out and with that bitter-sweet taste of dark chocolate, these are real mood-boosters!

If you think that eggless muffins or cakes do not rise enough, this recipe will prove you wrong! These eggless chocolate muffins rose like a dream, making a super-fluffy & beautifully soft internal texture.

Why are these Eggless chocolate muffins special?

Since the time I have started a ‘no-sugar’ (or ‘low-sugar’ to be more realistic!) diet, I have minimized the frequency of baking cakes or any desserts for that matter!

Otherwise how would you be able to resist the home-baked sweets which are just too good to not eat!

But on a fine morning I started craving for something deep dark chocolatey which is not too sweet but has that bakery style texture. And it was too strong a craving!

So I started searching for that dreamy chocolatey bite and these eggless chocolate muffins appeared with all their glory! And it was simply impossible to resist not making them immediately!

After ages I baked these sinfully decadent chocolate muffins which turned out exactly how I desired and relished them with all my soul!

At the same time, I had to remain mindful of my weight loss journey where I have put in a lot of hard work and as you know too much of these can instantly add extra pounds on your scale!

Hence I had to keep a check on my craving for these goodies; so I distributed half of them among my neighbors (hopefully they liked them as much as we did!).

This way I could enjoy my home-baked eggless chocolate muffins without overdoing them way too much! Absolute win-win!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MASH BANANA?
The easiest and fuss-free way to mash banana is using a bowl/plate and a fork. Just peel the bananas, add them in a bowl and mash it with a fork or a potato smasher. Alternatively you can also grind it or blend it using a blender or food processor. But this creates an extra work of washing this equipment after use. It is not necessary to mash the bananas completely smooth, but if you like it completely smooth then use a food processor.

HOW TO STORE THESE BANANA NUT MUFFINS?
Allow the muffins to cool down completely. Place them in an airtight container.

HOW LONG DOES EGGLESS BANANA NUT MUFFINS LAST?
Banana nut muffins can be kept for up to 3-4 days over the counter depending upon the temperature of your place. It will last for up to a week if stored in a refrigerator.

CAN I MAKE THESE INTO BANANA NUT CAKE INSTEAD?
Sure! You can use 7 inches cake tin. Bake at a preheated oven at 180° C for 30 to 35 minutes or a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

WHAT NUTS ARE BEST IN THIS RECIPE?
You can use mixed nuts like I did though it depends upon your palate preference. It’s amazing with pecans or walnuts in these muffins. The texture and flavor of nuts pairs well with the tenderness of the muffins and sweetness of the bananas.

CAN I OMIT THE NUTS?
YES! The recipe will still work even if the nuts are omitted. I make it nut-free sometimes and it just turns out amazing with super soft, moist and scrumptious muffins. You can also replace them with some chocolate chunks or chips to make chocolate chip banana bread.
