How to make Eggless Tutti Frutti Muffins
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Toss the tutti frutti in a teaspoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
In another bowl, mix sugar, oil, yogurt and vanilla essence until well combined.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
Add milk gradually until you reach a smooth consistency.
Fold in the prepared tutti frutti gently.
Use an ice cream scoop to fill each muffin liner about three-quarters full. This ensures they rise properly without overflowing.
Top with few tutti frutti bits and cashew pieces (if desired).
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once done, allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Serve them as a snack.
