Eggless muffins are popular for those with egg allergies, weight concerns, or who are vegan. Fruits and vegetables such as banana, carrot, pumpkin, and berries can be used in recipes without eggs. Some muffins require egg substitutes, such as pumpkin muffins, while chocolate muffins can use vinegar, dark brown sugar, and olive or canola oil. Grain-based muffins can use apple cider vinegar, applesauce, or commercial egg substitute.
There are many different types of eggless muffins, usually baked for those who are allergic to eggs, aware of their weight, or who are vegan. Some choices are those with fruits and vegetables, such as banana, carrot, pumpkin and berry muffins, as the fruits and vegetables included in the recipe have their own juices that make the muffins soft even without eggs. Eggless chocolate muffins are another choice, and for health-conscious desert eaters, whole-grain, oat bran and corn muffins are possible.
Banana muffins are the type of eggless muffin that can easily be made without eggs or egg substitutions. The texture of the muffins is generally still soft, though more spongy than the heavier texture of egg-containing banana muffins. For a softer texture, overripe bananas and muscovado sugar can be used for the recipe. The egg-free version of carrot muffins can also easily do without eggs in the recipe, although some inventive bakers do use a couple of overripe bananas as egg substitutes. Using brown sugar in the recipe will also help make moist batches of carrot muffins.
Some eggless muffins, on the other hand, need egg substitutes in the recipe, such as pumpkin muffins. Some recipes use silken tofu, the softest type of tofu, while other recipes suggest using yogurt, whether it’s milk or soy. Several recipes also include products called egg substitutes that are commercially available in supermarkets and health food stores. Muffins with berries like blueberries, cranberries, and strawberries can also use the aforementioned egg substitutes, but some recipes simply use apple cider vinegar to replace the eggs. This, however, results in a muffin with a lighter texture, which can be balanced out by adding a little flaxseed powder to create a heavier texture and add more fiber.
Chocolate muffins work well for vegans and those allergic to eggs who still want to indulge their sweet tooth. To compensate for the absence of eggs, bakers may use vinegar, dark brown sugar, and olive or canola oil because they are thicker than other cooking oils. Buttermilk can also be added for richer, moister muffins. Grain-based muffins generally have heavy textures due to the stringy ingredients, so eggs are used to make the batter less thick. Apple cider vinegar, applesauce, or commercial egg substitute can be used as a substitute for these types of eggless muffins.
