Tips for the best Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Use a kitchen scale for the dry ingredients if you have one — baking is less forgiving than cooking.
- Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 10 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
Variations
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Swap the egg for silken tofu — keep the cooking time similar and check for doneness.
Serving ideas
Dust with icing sugar just before serving and pair with coffee or tea.
