For all the cakes and cookies I bake, my kids don't like the sweet stuff! They are like their father! While my husband and kids prefer bajji and bonda for snacks, I prefer brownies and muffins. So to satisfy my cravings to bake, I bake mostly for others. My maid's family, my driver's family, my husband's friends and neighbor's get to enjoy on their birthdays and anniversaries free of cost!! Aside from preferring bondas and vadas, my family wants to eat only healthy stuff! So when baking for family, you need to bake some healthy stuff in between indulgence bakes! After last week's indulgence post, here's a healthy guilt free muffin that you can bake for your kids.
This is an extremely soft and moist muffin made with wholewheat flour and jaggery. We love this muffin and I'm sure you'll love it too!

Notes

DeleteAwesome yummy recipe Beulah! I am new to baking and using jaggery in bakes is something I am looking forward to trying. However, I do not have a muffin mould; so could you please tell me how I could convert this recipe into a cake/brownie?
ReplyDeleteYou can try baking this in a small pan like a 5 inch pan since it's a small batter and the timings will also vary. Good luck :)
