  1. This recipe did not work well. Muffins baked from Upper and mushy from inside. Why is it so? Bcoz baking is not new for me

  2. I just made these and they turned out absolutely delicious. I am new to baking and all my successful attempts have been with your recipes.
    Thank you so much!!5 stars

  3. Turned out to be great, I have tried your apple muffins, banana cake and wheat nankhatai and they all were fab. First time baking with success. All thanks to you! Best part was I used organic whole wheat flour and organic jaggery in all the recipes with success and that makes it so healthy too.5 stars

    1. Welcome Garima. Glad to know that baking recipes are turning out good. I try to use whole wheat flour in baking recipes wherever possible to make them more healthy. I also use organic products wherever possible in my kitchen specially flour, sugar, tea, lentils and veggies.

  4. Thanks for this recipe.. This is my first at baking muffins. As soon as they are made will it be a little moist inside. How long it takes to get the porous texture?4 stars

  5. Hi! I usually so not go back and post a comment on the recipe but freely recommends to my friends..however this recipe was SO GOOD that I just had to come back and tell you so…I’ve never had such aromatic muffins even at the best bakery! My daughter loved them so much that she just gobbled them up two at a time – I didn’t even have time for pictures! Thanks a lot! Great recipe..i only tweaked by adding lemon juice in place of vinegar..turned out awesome5 stars

  6. Thanks for the great recipe.
    Tried once, came out perfect. When tried for second time, muffins got flat in the last (I saw them dome shaped in between cooking) and after taking it out they were all wet from inside. What could be wrong, please help.5 stars

    1. the muffins have not baked well. thats why they have got sunken or flat. you can keep them again and bake for some more time. for the next time, just bake for more minutes.

  7. Hi..I tried many of ur cakes on stove top…aluminum cake pan..on the bottom on pan need to put sand on stove in a small pan.all cakes came good.now want to check can I do muffins in the same method that is applying or brushing oil in the pan and then put muffins on that as u did in oven.pls suggest

    1. thanks san. you can do muffins with the same method. you can use small bowls (vatis) and place the muffin liners in it. this will keep them in shape. place the bowls in a pan. add sand the way you add. then bake.

      1. Thank you for your response. On unavailability, can I skip vanilla essence and vinegar? Will that hinder the taste of muffins.

        1. you can skip vanilla and can add some other aromatic ingredient like 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder or cardamom powder. instead of vinegar use 1/2 tbsp lemon juice. some acidity is required for the baking soda to react. you can also use 1 tbsp of buttermilk instead of vinegar. with any ingredient you substitute, the taste and flavor will change.

  8. Hey I have tried many recipes from ur blog and they really turn out well but apple muffins didn’t worked for me.. Some apple pieces settled down on base of cupcakes and also cupcakes were not fluffy.. Can you please suggest me what must have went wrong.. I added powdered sugar instead of jaggery

    1. komal, thanks for sharing positive feedback on recipes. the fluffiness will not be there if the batter has folded/mixed too much or if the baking soda used is not fresh or not in its shelf life.

  9. Hello ma’am!
    A big fan of your wonderful blog! My mother and I did try many recipes which we learnt through this and it was all a great hit!
    I have a small request, that if you could please share a recipe of baking cakes etc in a pressure cooker.

    1. pleased to know this sharvari 🙂 glad your mom too likes our blog recipes. have taken your request for pressure cooker cake on our file thankyou so much.

  10. Hi Dear,i have learnt a lot from ur recepies so thank u so much for such a great blog,i want some suggestion ,actually i want to learn baking in delhi can u tell me how to start from where?

    1. thanks pooja. i do not know any institute or any person who teaches baking in delhi. if i knew some center or person personally, i would have recommended the same to you. however, for baking, i would suggest to take up the course in a professional institute. one of the institutes i have heard about a lot and very good for baking is le cordon bleu. but they do not have any center in india. i have heard they do offer online courses as well.

      1. ok.In most recipes I see both soda and powder.I am a newbie in baking ..;-).
        Have read the purpose of both in cakes but still confused as if there is any thumb rule to use these in recipes?

  11. I made these cup cakes today. It came out perfect in my convection. Thanks for this easy and healthy recipe.. My family loved it.. Wish I could post my muffins pic5 stars

  12. These turned out delicious and made my vegan mom-in-law very happy 😉 Also great for my toddler. Thank you!

    1. you can try. i have never made the. just microwave for 3 minutes. if not cooked completely, then microwave for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. depend upon the microwave oven.

  13. Hi.Dassanijee I m very much fond of ur recepies. It comes out really very good in taste. Today I made apple muffins for my daughters tiffin it becomes very much soft n soggy from inside what can I do for this?2 stars

  14. Hi! I am in love with all your recipes!
    I tried this apple muffin recipe last night and by this morning the kids had wiped them out!
    You are my go to “Cook book” ?
    None of your recipes have ever failed and your instructions and pictures are always very clear!
    Keep up the great work and looking forward to many more wonderful dishes!!

    1. vinegar is an essential acidic ingredient that helps in making the muffins soft and fluffy by reacting with the baking soda. substitute is lemon or lime juice.

    1. burugupalli, they stay good for 3-4 days in the fridge. but due to jaggery muffins can become moist, if kept for more than 1-2 days. so better to have them fresh.

  15. Yumm..Yum.. I havent baked ever in my life. Would love to start with this apple muffins.

  16. I just wonder how come ALL your recipes are so perfect ALL the time! 🙂 I have tried so many of your recipes – apple crumble, apple muffins, whole wheat pizza, chocolate chip cookis, pav recipe, bhindi masala etc etc. I follow the exact steps and everytime it turns out perfect. THANKS A LOT! 🙂
    I think yours is the only blog which allows to alternate sugar with jaggery and maida with atta. And this works perfectly for a healthy meal.
    Thanks again from the bottom of my heart 🙂5 stars

    1. welcome sugandh. thanks for your kind words. all recipes in the blog are tried and tested. may be thats why they turn out good. we prefer sharing healthy recipes, unless there is no option.

  17. Hi Dassana I tried it like a cake, it turned out awesome, thank you. If I need it a little sweeter can I do a mix of jaggery and sugar, can you pl. suggest a proportion

  18. Hi! I love your blog and have made quite a few recipes… The banana muffins turned out SO nice! I made a second batch today! But these apple muffins didn’t turn out well for me yesterday.. They were wet n uncooked from inside and got burnt from outside… I had followed your recipe exactly like you have told… What must have gone wrong I don’t know…. 🙁

      1. Hii dassana,
        Your recipes are really awesome. I tried apple muffins it tasted superb.I would like to know which fruits i can use instead of apple as i want to use whole wheat atta, olive oil and jaggery to make muffins or cake. Also tell me cinnamon can be used for any fruit?

        1. thanks gitanjali. cinnamon goes well with fruits like apples, pumpkin and pear. but then i even tried adding cinnamon with mangoes and lemon, but did not like the final flavor. it more of a individual preference. in this recipe, you can use fruits like pear and peaches.

          1. Thanks a lot. I would like to know if i want to make blueberry muffins same recipe will work?
