After a little hiatus, I am back with another edition of Srivalli's blogging marathon. Yes, it's BM# 16 time and my posts this week are going to be "Pick one - Cook all" theme based and my ingredient choice is oats. My first oats post is going to be these yummy muffins that are regular at my home. They are perfect for breakfast or snacking. This recipe particularly comes handy when those overripe bananas need to be put for good use. You can keep the recipe basic without the addition of nuts / dry fruits but I recommend them since they definitely enhance the flavor and make these muffins special.

Ingredients:(Makes 12)

• 3/4 cup oat flour (Make your own flour by grinding either quick / rolled oats.)
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 mashed bananas

Method:
* Preheat oven to 375 deg F / 190 deg C.
* Combine the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, coconut flakes and raisins in a bowl.
* Mash bananas in another bowl. Add sugar and mix well. Stir in melted butter. Then stir in dry ingredients.
* Grease or line the muffin pan with paper cups. Spoon the batter into cups so that it fills up to 3/4th of each cup. Sprinkle walnuts.
* Bake until a toothpick inserted at center comes out clean or for about 25 - 30 minutes.

I know i went missing here for a month. I needed the break from this webworld, now i can say proudly that iam not addicted to blog or FB or WEB in total :) apart from funny thoughts flooded, i gave treat to my Depression, by making these Eggless Chocolate Muffins. This is Superb eggless recipe, suggested by Sharmilee. Its Easy, you will know when you prepare it.

Recipe Copied from my Eggless Moist Chocolate Cake

Baking Time : 25-30 mins, Yields 18 muffins.

How to Prepare Eggless Chocolate Muffins?

Wet Ingredients:

• Cold Water - 1 and half cup
• White Vinegar - 1 and half tbsp's
• Brown Sugar (or) Sugar - 1 cup
• Oil - 6 tbsp's
  

Mix the above Wet ingredients in a bowl together. Let the Sugar Dissolve well.

Dry Ingredients:

• All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 and half cupCocoa Powder - 1/4 cup
• Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
• Salt - a small pinch
  

Sift the flour and cocoa powder along with the salt and baking soda for atleast 3 times,

So that no lumps of cocoa powder / all purpose flour are there and also the baking soda is mixed well with the flour.

Mix the Dry Ingredients along with the wet ingredients and stir slowly. make sure no lumps are formed in the mix.

Pre-Heat the Oven to 180c and line the Muffin tray with Muffin Liners.

Pour the mix on to the Muffin tray and bake it for 25 mins exactly. Check whether muffins are baked, by insering a toothpick in the centre of a muffins, it should come out clean, else bake for another 5 mins.

Remove the Muffins from the tray and cool them on wire wrack. Let them cool down for 10 minutes.

Put the Muffins in Refrigerator for about 2 hrs and serve chilled.

To make Icing:

Mix the Icing sugar (5 tbsp's) with warm water (1 tbsp) and beat well. spread the icing over the muffins and serve.
Notes:

Lemon Juice can be uses instead of White Vinegar.

Brown sugar works perfect than Plain Sugar.

I feel cooling the muffins makes it taste better.
