Muffins are small cupcakes. Everyone loves chocolate cakes. Here I have made eggless chocolate muffins. I have used cocoa powder to make these cakes but you can also add milk chocolate to enhance the flavor of these cakes. My niece and nephew have come from India and have been asking to make chocolate cupcakes. So I have made these delicious cup cakes with them. They are 7, and 5 years old and loved making cake. So the small, tiny, hands you will see in this page are those of my niece and nephew. Try out this chocolate cup cake's recipe with your kids and please do share your experience. Happy baking, Shuchi.

Now place the muffin tray in the preheated oven. Bake muffins for about 20-22 minutes or till they are done. To check if the muffins are ready : Insert a toothpick in the side of a muffin, if it comes out clean, then it means the muffins are ready. If the toothpick is not clean, we need to bake more.
Let the muffins cool down completely before serving. These muffins can be stored in airtight containers for few days.

Some Tips/ Suggestions:

Make sure that when you beat the batter, you do it in one direction.
If you do not find unsweetened condensed milk, use the regular one. In that case cut the amount of sugar.
