Chocolate Mawa Thandai Muffins, delicious Chocolate Mawa Muffins flavoured with Thandai Masala..

Chocolate Mawa Thandai Muffins, made these yumm muffins with the leftover Gujiya Mawa filling that I made on Holi. There was a bowl of the mawa filling left after I made Holi gujiyas , was thinking of making some more gujiyas, but then decided to use it in making muffins. Made with whole wheat flour these are soft, melt in mouth and spongy. Thandai masala adds an extra flavour rich in aromatic spices.

You must be wondering it's not Holi time, why Thandai Muffins???

I made these muffins just after Holi with the left-over mawa filling for gujiyas as mentioned above, somehow I could not post the recipe. Preethi, from my Facebook group Foodie Monday Bloghop, who blogs at Preethi's Cuisine when suggested the theme #190 Foodie Monday Bloghop Mini Cakes where we fellow bloggers have to bake muffins, cupcakes or bundts as per our choice. I was glad that I could now post my recipe, that I was thinking of postponing it for some special event or day.

Do check out Preethi's blog where she has some amazing recipes from traditional Indian cuisine to fusion and International recipes.

It's almost summers in many parts of world. Here in Iowa also, spring has finally arrived, gloomy and chilly winters are over. The weather is pleasant now and another month, it will be hot summers. In summers the body should be treated with food and nutrients that keep the body cool and refreshing. Lots of fruits, light summer drinks etc. Thandai is one such drink that has spices that are good for digestion, keep the body cool and fresh. Use the thandai masala or syrup in your cakes and muffins and desserts like pudding and shakes. You can use the store-bought Thandi Masala/ Syrup or Homemade as per your choice.

I use Whole Wheat Flour or Almond Flour in baking and have limited the use of all-purpose flour. I have even baked with Sorghum flour(Sorghum Cake)and coconut flour. Coconut flour muffins I have to try again as the first trial came out very dry.. and next in my list is spelt flour and buckwheat flour. I bake regularly and make healthy breads, quick breads, cookies and muffins for kids lunch box for their snack time. I try to include the healthy ingredients in whatever I give them. There are a lot of recipes on the blog with fruits, veggies for muffins and cakes. Whole Wheat breads and buns.. few of these are .. Whole Wheat Apple Cake, Double Chocolate Banana Bread, Whole Wheat Beetroot Sliders and many more.

Pls see notes in the recipe on how get the perfect muffins...

It's been several days since Holi and you must not be having the mawa filling, you can still bale these muffins with milk powder and nuts.

If you are baking at Holi time or any special occasion or festival time , then do make some extra gujiya filling and make these muffins to perk up your Holi menu. These are eggless and can be served to all your guests.

Let's see how I baked these super soft and flavourful Chocolate Thandai Muffins.

I know the pics are not very clear. I was trying to make video of this so cudn't take all the pics. the video didn't came out well, so will redo again sometime later and will update the post.

I used leftover mawa filling for the muffins.You can add the same amount of mawa and finely chopped nuts of your choice. Substitute milk powder with mawa if you don't have mawa.. you can even skip mawa and milk powder, and add only thandai powder to the muffins. Mawa adds to the richness of muffins. You can frost these with White chocolate ganache and top with finely chopped dry fruits for special occasions.For White Chocolate Ganache refer to Thandai Flavoured Mawa Bundts.

The spices in Thandai keep the body cool and are also good for digestion. With the thandai masala/ syrup make Thandai Cake or Muffins. Do make these flavourful and aromatic muffins rich in Indian spices and treat your friends and family with some Indian flavours infused in muffins.

Enjoy these muffins with any shake/smoothie, a cup of tea or coffee. Make it on your tea party and impress your guest with these exotic muffins. with the delicious mawa, chocolate, aromatic Masala and nuts!!
