Vegan Milo Muffin (butterless, eggless)

今天是觀音菩薩出道修練記念日，我們吃齋，也弄了些muffin給"修成林"做義賣。但在准備材料時才發現不夠糖，只能弄出12粒，因為通常我會弄30-40粒左右，所以這次就不拿去給"修成林", 自己家人吃囉。。 Today is GuanYin-day (chinese calendar), a vegetarian day for us as a buddist, therefore i have made these Vegan Milo Muffin for SSL charity sales. Halfway preparing ingredients only realized i have not enough sugar, end result? only 12 muffin can be made, but usually i will make around 30-40, so this time i have decided not to bring to SSL.

~ 1 cup water 水
~ 1/2 cup corn oil 玉蜀黍油

~ pinch of salt 少許鹽
~ 1tbsp baking powder 發粉
~ 1tsp vanilla essence 香草精

Method:
1) preheat oven at 165° 預熱烘爐

2) sift all powder, milo, sugar, salt together into a mixing bowl 把粉類，糖，鹽，milo 全篩進鋼碗

3) add in oil, water, milk, and lastly vanilla essence. 加入油，水，奶，最后是香草精

Butterless Chocolate Chip Muffin

Baked these butterless chocolate chip muffins, for SSL 修成林 charity sale (they having this 七月節 one whole month charity sale).

This is the second time i baked for charity, first time was banana and chocolate rice muffin. If to compare both recipe, i would say this butterless chocolate chip muffin is not as good as banana and chocolate rice muffin. The texture is more densed, which i have been told by the fb friend who shared the recipe. 

For this round i was able to contribute only 16 muffins, due to shortage of sugar and flour, arrgghh, i thought i have enough for at least 45 muffins, so i learnt a lesson, always check ingredients stock one day before baking, and always stock up :)

Ingredients: 

• 3 cups all-purpose flour 

• 4 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 eggs, room temperature 

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup fresh milk

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla essense

• 1 cup chocolate chips(i used double color chocolate chip)

Method: 

1) Preheat oven to 170°. 

2) In a mixing bowl, sift in together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. 

3) In a bigger bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until combined. Mix in milk, oil, and vanilla. 

4) Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix everything together. 

5) The batter will be quite thick and abit lumpy too. Fold in the chocolate chips.

6) Divide batter among prepared muffin cups.

7) Bake at 170° for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 160°.and continue to bake for 20 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
