Chocolate Muffin Recipe

CHOCOLATE MUFFIN (CACAOWEB)

2 eggs
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour (I added 4 tablespoons more)
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I reduced to only 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2/3 cup (160 ml) milk
2/3 cup (160 g) butter - melted
4 oz (120 g) semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
White chocolate rice ~ to sprinkle

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C).
2. Grease 6 large muffin tins or cups (paper muffin bake cups are recommended).
3. Beat the eggs with sugar, mix with flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and milk
4. Fold in the melted butter.
5. Add chocolate chips (please note that these might end up in the bottom of the muffin).
6. Bake at 350 degrees until a until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean , approximately 30 minutes.

The Chocolate Muffins may be served hot or at room temperature.

***For me, I prefer to sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking. If I mix with the batter, the chips will sink.
***I used vegetable oil. Vegetable oil less fat than butter!
*** I beat the eggs untill the color pales.
