These Eggless Ragi Chocolate Muffins made without refined sugar are a perfect delight to have any time. Absolutely perfect, in taste, in texture, everything and are thus perfect to serve anyone at any time of the day. They are super soft and spongy. Once you will make this you would like to use this flour again and again  These also taste so good that you will not miss all-purpose flour or sugar.

These muffins are a perfect combo of health and taste. I have added choco chips here to make it more chocolatey.

Me In Blogging Marathon

Blogging is intoxicating. Trust me, once you start it you remain glued to it. All you are thinking is recipes, tips, social media, SEO and other related things. We may be doing a hundred other things but one thing which is continuously hovering over us is our blog. I am sure my co-bloggers will agree with me. We keep on looking for ways to improve ourselves in this field and there is so much to learn. It is like an ocean, the deeper you go, the surer you are to find some precious pearls.

It is in this quest of mine to dive deeper and deeper that I got an opportunity to be a part of this Blogging Marathon. This post is my very first entry into this marathon. I am glad to join it as I will get an awesome chance to interact with many fellow bloggers. I am thankful to Srivalli Jetti, who is the organizer of this Blogging Marathon, to accept my request of joining it even in mid-session.

The theme I have chosen for this marathon is Kids Delight -Travel. A very interesting theme and am excited as it is because of kids only, I started my blog. My muffins have always remained a hit among kids. So much so that years back, children called me "Muffins aunty" Such simple n sweet memories automatically put a smile on your face and you feel everything worthwhile.

And muffins are something, you can carry yourself while travelling too. Even in summers, they remain good for 2 to 3 days. Recently, on my trip to Prayagraj to have a dip in Holy Kumbh, with family and friends, I was assigned to get cakes and muffins only. As I have mentioned in my earlier posts also, my nephew Ayush is a big fan of my muffins and it was a special request from him for the chocolate muffins.

So, without any brainstorming, my first entry to this marathon had to be muffins. I have already shared various types of muffins on my blog, like Vegan Chocolate muffins, Banana Walnut Chocolate Muffins, Strawberry Muffins and Apple Carrot Muffins, so which one to go for now?

As it is for kids, so chocolate has to be there. And nowadays, as I am experimenting with various other flours also, so I decided to try Ragi Chocolate Muffins.

Earlier I have tried Ragi Banana Cake. Even muffins can be made out of that recipe. So this time its plain Ragi with chocolate.

Eggless Ragi Muffins With Jaggery

These Eggless Ragi Chocolate muffins are not only made with a healthy flour but are also free of refined sugar. I have used jaggery to sweeten them up. So, completely healthy. You can serve these in breakfast, or in the lunch box or for any time munching. And if you are travelling, just carry with you these muffins. And anytime your kids feel hungry just handover one or two them.

How about knowing a little about Ragi Flour?

What Is Ragi?

Ragi is a millet also known as Finger Millet or Nachni Flour. It is a wonder grain seated on the topmost level amongst all the cereals. Ragi, being a millet is full of benefits.

Benefits of Ragi

• Rich source of digestible fibres, minerals and vitamins.
• Gluten-free
• It helps in reducing weight.
• Low in glycemic index which makes it good for diabetics.
• Excellent baby food as it not only improves digestion but is full of nutrients like iron and calcium.

Step By Step Recipe

• Line muffin liners in the tart moulds or in the muffins tray. You can even line these in steel or glass bowls or paper cups also.

• Roast Ragi flour for 3 to 4 minutes on medium flame to get rid of the raw smell.

• In a big bowl take Ragi flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and choco chips. (Reserve some choco chips for garnishing on the top.

• In a jar of mixie, take curd, oil, vanilla essence and jaggery powder. Blend it to make a fine paste. This is done to ensure that the jaggery is fully dissolved.

• Add the jaggery mix to the dry ingredients and mix everything using cut and fold method. If you mix the batter vigorously or for too long then you will have dense and chewy muffins. So, be gentle with the batter and mix as little as possible.
• If required, adjust the consistency by adding some more milk.

• Add Vinegar. I started preheating my microwave convection at this stage. If baking in oven or pressure cooker then preheat it for 10 minutes and start early.

• Put the batter in the muffin liners. Sprinkle choco chips or sugar sprinkles.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes till the skewer inserted comes out clean.

Baking Ragi Muffins In Oven

Preheat oven at 180 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Start preheating the oven when you start preparing the batter. Keep the baking tray in the middle rack and bake for 16 to 18 minutes or till the skewer inserted comes out clean.

Baking Ragi Muffins In Microwave Convection

Preheat microwave at 180 degrees. The timer is built-in, generally, it takes 5 minutes. Start preheating when the batter is ready. When it gives a beep indicating that it is preheated, keep the baking tray with moulds and bake.

Baking Ragi Muffins In Pressure Cooker

Preheat pressure cooker for 10 minutes. Keep the muffin moulds on the stand/rack in the cooker. For complete details regarding baking in a pressure cooker, click here.

Baking Ragi Muffins In Air Fryer

Preheat Airfryer at 180 degrees for 5 minutes. Keep the muffin moulds in the airfryer basket and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
