Eggless Strawberry & Banana Muffins
I was in happy mood over weekend as my work was appreciated and I achieved what I was targeting for 2 years, as they say hard work does pay offs, & to celebrate that I shopped, ate and baked! I tried this combo of strawberry and banana and it came out so good it was way better than I expected, banana & strawberry together works as charm and the flavour is just so delicious. I didn’t follow any recipe but did on my own and made this muffins as eggless butter-less, if you don't add strawberry emulco (and it’s fine) it will still have light pink color as strawberry and milk is grinded and added. Have along with any juice, tea/coffee as breakfast or snack. We had it with Pear and Orange Juice for breakfast and others disappeared in no time.
Ingredients: [Yields 12 regular size Muffins]
Granular Sugar - 1/2 Cup
Brown Sugar - 1/2 Cup
Oil - 3/4 Cup
Silken Tofu - 1/2 Cup [whipped] I used Oranigc
Ripe Banana - 2 Large
Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
Plain Flour - 2 Cups + 1 tbsp
Baking Powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Orange Zest - 1 tsp [optional]
Strawberry - 1 Cup [chopped]
Milk - 3/4 Cup
Strawberry Emulco - 1 tsp [optional]
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180C. In a bowl mix white and brown sugar with oil until sugar almost dissolves.
2. Add orange zest, whipped tofu and mashed banana and mix well.
~ I didn’t whip tofu but add and mix well with other ingredients. It’s better if you whip it and then add.
3. In a another bowl or plate sieve flour, salt, baking powder and mix with wet ingredients in small batches and stir, do not over mix.
4. Beat 1/2 cup of strawberry pieces with milk until smooth and add to muffin batter and mix well. Now add vanilla essence and strawberry emulco (if using) and give a good stir.
5. Coat remaining 1/2 cup of strawberry with 1 tbsp of flour and mix with batter, this is to prevent fruit from sinking on bottom.
6. Line muffin tray with liners and scoop batter until 3/4, if you wish add few strawberry pieces on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
~ Keep eye after 20 minutes, I used baked muffin liners and cupcakes cups to bake, though in these cups the batter is more than double of normal size muffins.
Cool in wire rack for 5 minutes, remove muffins and allow to cool completely.
Relish these cute and delicious muffins.
Have a nice day ~~

The good thing about this trifle is one can make this recipe as per their taste and requirement and it’s so simple to make. If you have lot of work for get together or party then this trifle can be very handy as everything can be put together in less than 20 minutes provided having some cake in hand. Just make the custard, arrange the trifle, keep it in fridge and forget about it until it’s time to serve and wow your family, friends and guests with this delicious and attractive trifle.

Try this recipe during this festive season for a sweet surprise to your near and dear ones, how about using eggless cake to make this trifle pudding and serve this for Diwali dinner dessert for a change? Sounds interesting rite?
Ingredients: [Serves - 6]
Cake - 1 1/2 cup chopped [ I am using marmer cake here]
Banana - 2
Apple - 1
Strawberry - 18-20 pieces
Whipped Cream - For garnishing [optional]
For Custard
Custard Powder - 3 tbsp
Milk - 500ml
Sugar - 4 tbsp [to taste]
Method:
1. We can start with making the custard, boil milk, meanwhile in a bowl take custard and add 50ml from the boiling milk or just enough milk to mix with custard. Make sure there is no lumps formed.
2. Add sugar in milk and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Now add the custard milk mix and stir non-stop on low flame, milk will start to thicken this takes 3-5 minutes. Custard has to be thick with pouring consistency, keep aside.
3. While the custard is getting ready we can work on chopping the fruits. You can use any fruit of your choice like orange, pomegranate, peach etc. Wash well and chop all the fruits, keep aside.
4. You can use cake of your choice, if you have any leftover it works perfect. Chop cake in small pieces, even brownie or muffin will work here. I am used marmer cake.
5. For assembly, in serving glass add chopped cake pieces until 1/4 of glass. You can use a large serving bowl or plate and arrange the cake pieces.

6. Pour 3-4 tbsp of custard, then layers of fruits. I kept apple, banana followed by strawberry.

7. Our fruit trifle is ready, cover it with cling wrap or aluminium foil and chill in fridge for 2-3 hours or until ready to serve.

Garnish with whipped cream and top it with strawberry or cherry before severing. Isn’t that easy? Make this a day before (don’t use banana in that case as it will change colour) or in the morning before your party.

Variations
~ If you don’t have any leftover cake in hand no problem, try this with jelly.
~ Use any flavour custard, I used pista flavour.
~ Choice of fruit is up to you whatever you can lay your hands on. You can also use canned fruits but personally I like to use fresh ones.
~ You can do layering as per your choice like starting with cake/jelly, fruits and then custard. In this case you have to let the custard set first.
Have a nice day ~~
