Grapefruit, Oats & Chocolate Chips Eggless Muffins

I have never tried making muffins with grapefruits and some grapefruits were sitting sadly since few days in my fruits basket, immediately i squeezed out their juice and grated their zest which i used in my super fluffy muffins for our snacks with oats, chocolate chips and whole wheat flour without eggs but not vegan as i used butter,milk and yogurt in this beautiful muffins..I can definitely say that i have given a second life to those mildly sour and bitter grapefruits...The picture itself says how tasty those beautiful muffins na...We enjoyed these cute looking muffins for our snacks with a cup of tea...Am sending this yummy muffins to Divya's Show Me Your Muffin..

Grapefruit Oats Muffins

1+1/2cups Whole wheat flour
1/2cup Rolled oats
1tsp Grapefruit zest
1/4cup Grapefruit juice
1cup Yogurt
1/4cup Milk
1tsp Baking powder
1/2tsp Baking soda
1/4cup Butter
3/4cup Sugar
1tsp Vanilla extract
1/4cup Chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350F..Sieve the flour with baking soda and baking powder, add the rolled oats and chocolate chips to the flour and keep aside...Meanwhile beat together the butter and sugar until they soft mixture, add the grapefruit juice,grapefruit zest,yogurt and vanilla extract, beat until everything get well mixed,finally add the milk and give a stir..

Now add gently the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients,mix well with a spatula, dont overmix the batter,else ur muffins will turns hard..Pour enough batter in greased muffins tray and bake for 15-20minutes..

Enjoy warm with a cup of tea..

Ivy said...

Priya, the muffins look delicious. I have never bought grapefruits although they are in abundance in Greece because as a child I would drink a grapefruit juice, which I hated. It's been some time now that I was thinking that it's about time to give them a second chance.
Thanks for linking your recipe to Creative Concoctions.
