Water Muffins with Cocoa

Water muffins with cocoa, soft and incredibly good, an egg-free and butter-free recipe, easy to make, ideal for breakfast and beyond.

Muffins, whose origin dates back to England during the Victorian era, are small cakes with a typical round shape. Initially, the muffin batter was made of flour, eggs, baking powder, and milk and were cooked on a kind of hot plate called a “Muffin ring.” Over time, muffins have undergone variations, even in ingredients, and range from sweet to savory, can be gluten-free, or egg-free like my recipe.

They are really very simple to make, much faster than a cake to cook and require few ingredients to be tasty.

Indeed, just add chocolate chips to simple lemon muffins to make them even more amazing.
