PRESENTATION

Water muffins are kinda shaking up the muffin world by ditching the usual eggs, butter, and milk. Really, they're all about plain water and a super light seed oil to keep things moist without that heavy feeling. You’ll still get that fluffy bite, but these muffins are way lighter than the traditional ones. And look, it is fun to mix in different toppings. You know, like sunflower seeds or some crunchy dark chocolate flakes—really awesome stuff—and end up with something new every time.

This modern baking trend is about creating eggless muffins and dairy-free muffins that taste great and feel a bit healthier. Seriously good. Whether you like yours golden on the outside or packed with nuts, these muffins make breakfast or snack time way more exciting. In the world of no-butter muffins and no-milk muffins, these treats are super adaptable. Some folks just stick with the basic recipe for that tender crumb, while others get creative with extras like dried fruit, seeds, or even a touch of citrus for a zesty kick.

And here's the deal: the best part about these water muffins is how versatile they are—vegan friends will love them. Plus, they fit perfectly with plant-based or healthy-eating goals. You won’t miss out on flavor, either. The subtle taste of the seed oil lets your mix-ins shine through, and the absence of heavy dairy or eggs means you get something lighter but still satisfying.

For anyone curious about simple muffin recipes that are easy, tasty, and open to all sorts of add-ins, this is a fantastic option that feels fresher compared to richer baked goods. Pretty much. These muffins show that you don’t need a bunch of rich ingredients to create something soft and really really delicious. Whether for breakfast or a snack, they’re a great way to enjoy a healthier treat. No question.

How to prepare Water Muffins

To make the water muffins, first pour the brown sugar and water 1 into a bowl, mix with a whisk to combine 2, and then gradually add the vegetable oil 3, still mixing.

Now incorporate the dry ingredients by sifting them through a sieve: add the flour 4, the baking powder 5, and the baking soda 6.

Mix the batter with the whisk until smooth and homogeneous, without lumps. Add the chopped chocolate 8, flax seeds 9

And finally the chia seeds 10. Stir one last time to evenly distribute the seeds, then pour the batter into muffin cups with a diameter of 2.36 inches and about 1.97 inches high, using a ladle 11. Decorate the surface with more seeds 12

and when you have filled all the muffin cups 13, bake them in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 20 minutes and then continue for another 20 minutes in convection mode. Once cooked, remove your water muffins 14 from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then serve them 15.
