Eggless chocolate cupcakes

Eggless chocolate cup cakes:

Baking and snack recipes are more into my mind these days ,as my elder one started carrying snack box and lunch box to school and I am enjoying this new phase of my life where I am getting to know the likes and dislikes of my kid. No wonder ,like all kids, she loves home baked stuff and it gives me a sigh of relief , that I can pack some baked goodies in her snack box.
Have baked few eggless chocolate cakes but I was tempted to bake this particular recipe as it required very few ingredients and I almost had all of them handy .Also the end result was super tasty and soft.The cake rised so well and looked gorgeous.

Here goes the recipe

I have replaced the blueberrys with semi sweetened chocolate chips

Ingredients:
     

180 gm (1 cup) chocolate chips
2 tsp plain flour for coating the chocolate chips
210 gm (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
100 gm (3/4 cup) milk powder
100 gm (3/4 cup) fine sugar*
100 gm (1/2 cup) butter, melted
250 ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Line your muffin tray with cupcake or muffin liners. Or grease and dust them with flour if you don’t want to use the liners
take the chocolate chips in a bowl, sprinkle flour on them, mix and keep aside. This will make sure that the chocolate chips wont sink into the bottom of the pan

Preheat the oven to 180 C/350F.

In another large bowl, put in the flour, baking powder and baking soda and sieve once to make it uniform. 

Put in the milk powder and the sugar into the flour and mix well with a whisk.
Stir in the melted butter, vanilla and the milk and mix gently with the whisk. Do not over mix as the secret to good muffins is “less mixing”!
Fold in the chocolate chips very gently and give it one mix so that the choco chips are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
With the help of an ice cream scoop or a spoon fill the prepared moulds with the batter and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean
