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

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

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
