Last year during the lockdown, I developed this tasty Eggless Savoury Wheat flour Protein Muffins recipe out of the inspiration that one can nourish their health by consuming these wholesome little pieces. They don’t take much time to whip up, and the ingredients are customizable according to one’s preference as well. These kid-friendly, grab-and-go, healthy muffins are great to pack in the school tiffin or office lunchbox. Eat as a snack whenever you feel hungry. Adding cooked soya granules to a muffin recipe worked as a game changer, which gave this a meaty taste, much loved by everyone in my family.

Recipe Notes
- Chilli oil adds a great flavour to this recipe, if you don’t have it replace it with the same amount of vegetable oil.
- If not using chilli oil add ¾ tsp of chilli flakes to the batter.
- If you don’t have Onion powder and Ginger powder at home use 3 tbsp chopped onion and ¾ tbsp chopped ginger at the time of sautéing the vegetables.
- If you consume eggs, skip Flax eggs and add 2 eggs to the recipe.
- The addition of milk might be increased or lessened depending on the fiber present in the wheat flour you’re using. The high-fiber flour always For example, I’ve used high-fiber Khapli Wheat flour in this recipe, so I needed to add more milk. If your flour has less amount of fiber, add the milk accordingly. We’re looking for a thick batter for this recipe, otherwise, the texture of the muffins might change.
- If you want, you can skip the cheese. The muffins can be done without cheese as well. Increase the amount of salt in the flour a little bit, if not using cheese.
- For the topping, you can also use sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, etc.
- You can use some fresh herbs or dried herbs in the batter as per your preference.
