The muffins look so fluffy Hari. Just have one query, what to use to replace the banana? and is there any specific reason to use boiled milk?
Thank you Rimli, I am not sure about the replacement. But try with yogurt and check. I read somewhere there will be some difference in the texture of the cakes or muffins when we did and didn't boil the milk. So I always use boiled and cooled milk for puffy cakes. Thanks again! 🙂
