Eggless Wholewheat Chocolate Coconut Muffin

If you love indulgent bakes that feel wholesome yet decadent, these Eggless Wholewheat Chocolate Coconut Muffins are going to become your new favourite treat. Sweetened with jaggery, made with wholewheat flour, and enriched with coconut and cocoa, these muffins bring together rich flavours and a softer, fluffier texture. The best part? This is a simple one-bowl recipe—quick to make, easy to clean up, and perfect for busy mornings or last-minute sweet cravings.

Let’s look at the main ingredients!

Jaggery

A traditional unrefined sweetener rich in minerals and natural caramel notes. It adds moisture, enhances the deep chocolate flavour, and gives the muffins a warm, earthy sweetness.

Yogurt

A natural tenderiser that boosts moisture and softness in eggless baking. Yogurt helps create a fluffy crumb and supports the rise of the muffins.

Coconut Oil

Adds richness without heaviness. Coconut oil brings a subtle coconut aroma and helps maintain a soft, moist texture even after cooling.

Vanilla Extract

Balances the cocoa flavour and enhances overall aroma. It rounds out the chocolate-coconut combination beautifully.

Salt

A small amount elevates all the flavours and balances sweetness.

Cocoa Powder

Adds depth, chocolate richness, and structure to the muffins. Cocoa blends perfectly with jaggery for a warm, comforting flavour.

Desiccated Coconut

Provides texture, nuttiness, and enhances the coconut flavour.

Wholewheat Flour

A fibre-rich alternative to refined flour that adds a hearty, nutty flavour. Wholewheat flour makes these muffins feel more nourishing and pairs well with coconut.

Baking Powder & Baking Soda

These leavening agents help the muffins rise well, making them airy and fluffy despite being wholewheat and eggless.

Milk

Helps form a smooth, pourable batter and adjusts moisture. It binds the ingredients beautifully for an even bake.

  2. Sift in wholewheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

  4. Line a muffin tray and fill each cavity ¾ full.

  5. Top with coconut flakes.

  6. Bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes, depending on your oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • Depending on your flour, you may need anywhere between 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup milk to form the batter. Start with 1/2 cup of milk and add more only if needed.
  • For muffins, the batter has to be thicker than a cake batter. This gives that nice dome to the muffins, even when they are egg free.
  • To make these muffins vegan, you can use around 1 cup of coconut milk mixed with 1 tsp of vinegar to replace yogurt and milk.
