How to use Microwave in baking
Many of you asked me for eggless cake recipe as well as baking in the microwave. Microwave baking is almost similar to regular baking in the oven. While baking, you have to use convection mode, of LG microwave. You can use regular metal baking tins in the microwave only in this mode. You can also use baking glassware, silicon moulds and other ovens safe bakeware. Two things are important while baking in the microwave. First take care to use convection mode on the microwave when you bake in the microwave, second temperature which you set while baking. Just like regular oven you need to preheat the microwave before baking cakes, muffins, pizza as per recipe requirements. Preheating microwave takes just 5 minutes. Set the temperature by adjusting the knobs and preheat to required temperature as per recipe. In this eggless muffin recipe, I preheated the microwave on convection mode at 180C first.

Things to take Care while Baking Eggless Muffins
The batter consistency is different for a cake, a muffin and a cupcake. For a muffin as this- the consistency will be slightly thick like dollops. Never flatten the top of the batter filling in the cups with your spoons or spatula, as it will make them flat and never fill the cupcake liner up to the brim. You can even out the batter of a cake if you want, with a butter knife, to make a ‘flat base’ cake. If you put blueberries on top of the batter they will burn. So it is always suggested to mix them in the batter. Always preheat the microwave on convection before baking anything. This helps to get a great desired texture.
You can make a muffin in about 2-5 minutes on microwave high mode like a 1-minute microwave mug cake, for a crispy crummy muffin with well-cooked texture, it is suggested to cook them in microwave convection mode for 15-20 minutes depending on the weight.
