Wholewheat Almond Chocolate Muffin

My daughter loves chocolate cake/ muffins. Well, which child doesn’t!! 

I often make these chocolate muffins for her while making small changes and she loves them. These ones are made of atta, so once in a while they are even great as a snack in school.

This time, I couldn’t make the fruit cake that i usually make around this year for christmas. So, I made this trustworthy recipe of mine which is not only simpler but also gets ready in a jiffy. You may use this same batter in a cake mould and bake it as a cake.

Since I have used wholewheat flour and refined flour in this recipe, it is a little dense. If you want it to be even more spongy and light you may increase the proportion of maida.

This recipe makes 12 muffins, if you want to make 6 at time, you may halve the ingredients.
