As a child, I would love anything chocolate related, so if I had to pick any muffin flavour I would go for Chocolate chip or even worse double chocolate, which can be so dry but back in the days I wouldn’t know the difference. Then one day my dad introduced me to a blueberry muffin and I was very shocked at how nice they tasted! They were so juicy and the blueberry had that lovely sweet and tart flavour. I would even go far to say that it was my new favourite compared to chocolate which was quite a shock!

Last week I tried out a muffin recipe as I was so tempted by it, although I have just mentioned blueberries this was actually a chocolate chip muffin. I think there were so many chocolate chips and it looks so fluffy and as I haven’t had a muffin in ages I thought I would let me just bake this. This recipe wasn’t anything different to any other muffin recipes and contained 1 egg but boy did it taste eggy! I was very surprised and wasn’t sure why I couldn’t taste the egg so much. I gave the muffins to my colleagues who said they couldn’t taste the egg so it was obviously just me!

I decided to find a vegan recipe but I wanted to use normal yoghurt so they are eggless, not vegan. The recipe is still pretty straight forward, box standard recipe so was very quick and simple to make.

I would they tasted OK but not as fluffy as the ones with the egg in, however, at least it didn’t have the horrible egg taste to them.
