My very first bake of the New Year, and I forgot the sugar! Double-chocolate muffins – baked up beautifully, nice fluffy moist texture. My husband starting eating one and when I asked him how it was, he politely said, “it’s good,” and offered me half. When I tasted it, I realized I’d forgotten the sugar. Not bad, exactly, but the sweetness of the chocolate chunks isn’t enough to make up for the lack of sweetness in the muffin. At least I know the recipe works, and would try it again. Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with successful bakes!

if they’re still warm you could cover them in sugar. They wouldn’t be as soft but it’s the most you can do now
I made a pumpkin pie and forgot most of the sugar. No one would eat it. So it was all up to me. I drizzled maple syrup on top. It was perfect.
Load them up with sugary icing and you have chocolate chunk cupcakes?
Use them to make chocolate bread pudding, just be sure to sweeten the milk egg mixture
I had chocolate muffins completely fall apart yesterday. Whipped up a quick buttercream to mix in with the mashed up muffins and dipping chocolate and made muffin “cake” pops! Highly recommend!
Can you do a cake soak? Maybe a sweet mixture wil help offset the lack of sugar, it should also help if they’re a bit dry.
I’ve done this unfortunately in my career. To chocolate muffins no less. Thought they looked different than last time (made a 80+ct jumbo muffin batch at work). Took a bite once done baking and oof it was awful. 😩
We ended up crumbling them out to mix in with Oreo crumbs for some chocolate cheesecake crusts.
Fill with chocolate ganache?
I made cinnamon rolls the other day. Forgot the egg. Then forgot the sugar for the icing. That was a learning lesson.
Yours look better than the og recipe! What did you use for chips?
Make a makeshift tiramisu. Soak them in sweetened khalua
Looks like an over-sugared drink is in order.
You made an excellent start of a chocolate bread pudding!!!! A little vanilla ice cream and you purposefully left out the sugar!
I would do a tree leches type soak and chopped up muffins
Eat them with ice cream or fill them with something super sweet (I’m thinking whipped cream with sugar and condensed milk, yum)
Serve them over ice-cream! 🙂
If someone tries them, say “i’ve been trying this new recipe, can you tell me how it tastes?? I’m a bit on the bench, since it doesn’t have sugar”
That way, if they don’t like them you can go “yeah, i think i like the old one better” but if they actually really like them just take the complement
I love how everyone in this sub is positive. I haven’t baked in a long time but I appreciate seeing others and all the kind comments ❤️
This is why I taste my batter . Yes I know raw eggs are bad
In home ec, my brother accidentally switched up the sugar and the salt. He still brought the cookies home for my mom and I to try.
Awww, upvote for your polite husband.
I forgot sugar in a cake once, and my (not so polite) sibling still likes to remind me about it!
Those look SO GOOD! Can you maybe use a sweetened butter to help?
Honestly just eat them with a very sweet ice cream lol
So it’s chocolate bread? I would eat it
Pipe sweetened cream cheese icing down the middle to balance it out.
Or make cakepops
Can you soak them in simple syrup?
