Eggless savory cheese muffins

I never thought going eggless in my baking until Madhu of egglesscooking


got the idea of creating a series for egg substitute. This month egg
substitute is Vinegar. My first reaction was is vinegar an egg replacement?
Wow, I never knew it before. Thanks for highlighting and bringing to my
attention, Madhu.

Vinegar is widely used in my mom cooking, whenever she prepares pickles,


vinegar plays an important role of preserving, when the mutton needs to be
cooked faster, she adds a little bit, the job is done in few minutes. The
acidity of the liquid tenderizes the meat.

But my way of using vinegar is quiet different. I keep white vinegar in stock
to clean around my house. Yes, one of the natural way of cleaning without
any harsh chemical. Wondering what I do with vinegar?

*To shine my stainless steel sink back: Sprinkle some baking soda and pour
some white vinegar. Scrub around and let it sit 5 minutes. Rinse with tap
water, the steel shine back.
*To remove the mineral in coffee filter: Pour a cup of white vinegar in water
reservoir and run the cycle. Discard the vinegar and run two cycle of plain
water to rinse. Otherwise, ur coffee will taste vinegar flavor!
*Discourage ants: Spray vinegar near my door way or window.

Those are few things; I do around with the vinegar. Ok, coming to the
recipe, the rule is
1 egg = 1 tbsp vinegar + 1 tsp of baking soda or even 2 tbsp of
lemon juice can be used instead of vinegar.

I adapted this savory muffin recipe and play around the ingredients to suit
my taste buds and substituted the egg to vinegar + baking soda. I totally
modified the recipe, just keeping in my mind the measurement and the
review about the recipe.
They turn out excellent, spongy, cheesy, and slightly peppery and the
cilantro gave an Asian touch. I served warm for breakfast and no need of
any accompaniment.
Very important thing, it doesn’t smell vinegar, it paired well with the cheese!

Mix the two flours, pepper powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a
bowl.
Combine the honey, vegetable oil, buttermilk and vinegar together.
Mix into dry ingredients, just moistened the mixture. It will be lumpy don't
worry (over mixing will result to hard muffins)
Fold the grated cheese and cilantro
Grease a muffins tray , or use directly a silicone mold. Scoop 2/3 of the
mixture in tin/mold and bake 20 to 25 minutes.

Enjoy for ur breakfast or accompanied with soup! Don't forget to warm them
few seconds in microwave.

For next time: I would substitute pepper to fresh jalepenos, I felt pepper
doesn't give enough kick and omit the honey! Don't try to bombard me , I
am a spice gal after all.
