Ragi chocolate chip muffins

Continuing on my 'Ragi Roll' experiments, here is another one for Madhuram's  JFI - Ragi event. This is adapted from the recipe found here. When I got the idea of making chocolate chip muffins using 'Ragi', I laughed at myself because it is kind of funny. I was afraid that no one at my place would even touch it and I'll end up eating them or throwing them. But, it was very nice for a Ragi muffin. My kids didn't have any problem eating them at all. When I make it next time, I will increase the sugar a bit because it was not very sweet. It could probably use some more oil too about 2 TBSP more than what I have given here. All in all, it was a very nice challenge for me to make them.
Here goes the recipe..

Ingredients:

1. Ragi flour - 3/4 cup
2. All purpose flour - 1/4 cup (You could use whole wheat flour too)
3. Baking powder - 1 tsp
4. Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
5. Salt - 1/4 tsp
6. Milk - 1/2 cup
7. Vanilla - 1 tsp
   
8. Sugar - 1/4 cup (You can increase it to 1/2 cup. Muffins weren't very sweet at all)
9. Water - 2 TBSP
10. Canola or vegetable oil - 2TBSP
11. Mini chocolate chips - 1/4 cup

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a mini muffin pan with vegetable oil spray or line with paper liners. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Stir to combine. In another bowl, mix milk, water, oil, vanilla extract. Stir wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir in chocolate chips. Batter will be watery. Fill the cups almost full and bake for 10 - 12 minutes. If you are using regular muffin pans, you might want to check after 18 minutes. (18 - 22 minutes)
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. The above proportions gave me 19 mini muffins.
