However I just couldn't stop myself from adding some chocolate chips to it. So though these muffins are butterless and sugarless, these may not be completely low cal, as some chips have gone into each muffin. Again what's the point in eating a bland muffin, right? So you can still indulge in this, feel assured that these are much better than the regular loaded muffins. I also knew that my boys won't touch these as it's not chocolate based and was prepared for it.
Hubby dear liked it a lot and my colleagues said it was very soft and crumbly. And had just the right amount of sweetness. I was aiming at creating a more suitable breakfast muffins that can be served for breakfast for kids. The ingredients are pantry available and if you have the ingredients handy, this takes very less time to get baked and packed for kids.
Since I had made Paneer Butter Masala the previous dinner, I had made a pact with the boys that they would try a new vegetable for dinner next day. I was constantly telling them and they even agreed. I didn't want to change the menu and went ahead with Aloo Gobi ki Subzi with Rotis. It was interesting to see them taste that for the first time and saying it was delicious. I had decided it was high time they get introduced to all vegetables and start eating them. They hardly ever eat vegetables.
I was thinking I should take the cross section of the muffins, to show how soft and crumbly the texture turned out, it completely skipped my mind, when it was 11 in the night and had two posts to write. Well now that the experiment turned out well, I will be using this measurement. Maybe reduce the baking powder next time to see if the texture changes.
On the whole, a beautiful piece of baked dish!
Though I am always baking very late at night, I somehow didn't have the patience to click step by step, I wish I had. So the next time I am baking these again, I will for sure click and update. I love how nicely the muffins have browned on top and sides.

Honey in muffins, now that is totally a genius idea. Muffins have come out perfect Valli.
I'm sailing in the same boat with you Valli, my son refuses to try any new veggie. I have to come to a pact with him too.
