Choc Chip Raisin Yoghurt Muffins

These choc chip muffins that I made recently were a hit at breakfast.  Not only were they easy to make, they were moist as I added more yoghurt than what was called for in the recipe.  This is a very simple and straightforward recipe that will yield consistent good result.





Recipe for Choc Chip Raisin Yoghurt Muffins

 Ingredients
  • 9 oz plain flour
  • 4 oz caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or veg. oil (I used melted butter)
  • 125 - 140 ml plain yoghurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 80 gm raisins
  • 80 gm choc chips
  • a pinch of salt
Method
  1. Sift flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a mixing bowl.  Add in sugar and mix well.
  2. Whisk eggs, oil, yoghurt and vanilla till well mixed.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, mix till just combined.
  4. Scoop (I used an ice cream scoop) batter into paper lined muffin pan, about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven @ 200 deg.C for 20 to 25 mins. till golden brown. Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  6. Leave muffins in pan to cool.  Serve warm.
  7. Yield :  12 Muffins

    Cheah, I love these Choc Chip Muffins! Now I also use yoghurt in place of buttermilk and it works beautifully.

      Yes, I too notice that yoghurt gives a better texture to the muffins.

      I'm not too sure Kimmy. But making muffins do not take too much time.

    I loved the beautiful colour of your muffins. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea. Yogurt definitely gives the muffin a moist texture.

      Yes, I'd be using yoghurt instead of milk for my muffins in the future.

    I've not baked muffin with choc chip and raisin for a long time. Adding yoghurt will definitely makes the muffin moist and delicious. I want to bake this too! Thanks for sharing, Cheah :)

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Pumpkin Carrot Cake

I have never tried baking cakes with raw pumpkin and was glad when Amy Beh shared a recipe for Pumpkin Carrot Cake.  The moist cake tasted good, the sweet pumpkin blended well with the slightly sourish cranberries.  I have reduced the sugar somewhat and tweaked the method too.  I'll be baking this again for the Chinese New Year.  This cake was an instant hit with my family ....... Try it!

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010

I recently made this Chinese New Year cookie, 'Kuih Bangkit' for my daughter to  bring back to Melbourne. As Chinese New Year is barely a month away, thought it best to post it now, perhaps you may like to try it out.  These cookies are not too sweet,  with a tinge of pandan fragrance coupled with a sweet taste of coconut ...... yummy.  They do keep well if they're thoroughly baked and they melt in the mouth!
