Eggless rainbow muffin, soft spongy textured, a treat to eyes first before you enjoy these treats. Step by step instructions for beginners.

Jump to:
I had a long time wish to try out this rainbow muffin, though my wish was to try cake rather than muffin.
I sent this rainbow muffins to Kungumam thozhi last month’s edition. As I am just back from my tiring trip to Indian, no mood to get back to blogging. Taking my own time to get back to the swing.
I will be posting my video recipes from next week sure, meanwhile you can enjoy these recipes.
My trip was so hectic that out of 8 days I was in travel for 5 days. In between you can imagine how the 3 days would have flown away! 😉.
Our regular visit to temple and visiting couple of relatives and an awesome trip to Bangalore and had great time with my brother family, parents along with my in-laws.
Bangalore and Mysore was too good, loved the food a lot😀. Now back to my routine life.
This rainbow muffins is with the eggless vanilla cake recipe as base, just added food colors to it.

Notes
- Muffins will stay good for 3 days in room temperature. Just keep in a muffin rack.
- No need to keep in an airtight container.
- If there is a moist top over the muffin, its natural, dust with sugar powder to absorb the moisture.
- You can use your favorite colors.
- Fill the muffin liner only with ¾th of the batter.
- I tried using different flavor, it was good. Just 2 different flavors though.

Which brand of food colouring did you use? I believe the beauty of the colour lies in the brand 🙂
Ananthi
Tried your recipe.. tasted well except that my muffins got cracked at the top and was a bit dry on top alone.. If I bake it for lesser time then it's not cooked in the center.. Wat do I do?
Raks anand
8 muffins as shown (size) in the picture
Raks anand
Bake king 🙂

I think you are over mixing the batter. Try mixing with a spatula instead whisk next time. Other reason could be more baking powder/ cooking soda.
Rahul Rohit
Can I replace curd with vinegar. If so what is the quantity equivalent to 1 cup curd? Thanks
Raks anand
I am not sure, I rarely bake, so can't suggest you with out trying. Sorry
Gurjeet Chhabra
plz tell me, my muffin top portion remain hard and dry
Raks anand
Little more water to the batter will solve the problem. Also make sure not to over mix.

Hi...Can i skip baking soda in this?
Raks anand
No, this is eggless version, so it is must for soft spongy texture
Mrunalini Honshetti
Hi very nice recipe, can you tell me what flavours can be used in this recipe please
preeti
Hi.. can we use butter or ghee instead of oil?
Raks Kitchen
Sure, i suggest to use butter rather than ghee. But measure butter in liquid form by melting it. Don't melt too much, just to liquify it. Hope this helps you
