Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins




  • I'm not sure if "muffin" is the right thing to call these buggers.... they're something of a cross between a cupcake and a brownie, in my opinion. But muffins they are! 
  • These decadent muffins were dreamed up last night after craving a double chocolate muffin from Muffin Break. I won't claim that they're as good as MB, but they are almost, and that's enough for me since I made it from stuff I had on hand in the cupboard! Inspired by 3 different recipes I found online, as I was quite surprised no one had come up with a copy cat version for the Muffin Break gem. These were more dense and less fluffy, and went perfectly with our home made (instant) flat whites as well. Enjoy!
Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 100 grams butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
  1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl. 
  2. Melt butter over low heat. 
  3. Combine egg, milk, sour cream and vanilla; then add the melted butter and mix well. 
  4. Add the flour mixture and mix until batter is smooth. 
  5. Add chocolate chips. 
  6. Scoop 1/4 cup batter into greased muffin tin and bake fan forced at 200 C (about 400F) for 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Indulge!
