Dairy free cranberry and chocolate muffins


No milk in the fridge .... fear not ... you can still make muffins without milk. 
If I say without milk, that doesn't mean you need substitute stuff like soya milk or oat milk.  
You can actually make muffins simply using water instead of milk.   
I recently discovered that I could bake cake without eggs and milk when I tried to make vegan cupcakes. When I found there was no milk in my fridge, I thought to myself I still could make muffins using water like I made vegan cupcakes the other day.  :)
I used an egg as I had some eggs in the fridge. So, these muffins are dairy free but not totally vegan. 
They have a lovely chocolaty flavour and very light.  



Ingredients 

  • 200g plain flour (if you use self raising flour, no need to add baking powder) 
  • 150g sugar
  • 20g cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼  tsp Salt
  • 100ml water 
  • 60ml vegetable oil
