One of the kids fave muffins. I keep playing around with the combos…sometimes mocha & choc-chip; or brown-sugar & walnuts; or plain vanilla and choc-chips and walnuts. Kids love ’em!!

CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE-CHIP MUFFINS
Ingredients:
Flour – 1 1/4 cups
Whole-wheat flour – ½ cup
Baking Soda – 1 tsp
Salt – 1pinch
Cocoa – ¼ cup
Yogurt – 2/3 cup/thick
Milk – 4 tbsp
Eggs -3 / small
Butter – ½ cup (100gms), at room temp
Sugar – ¾ cup
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
Chocolate chips – ½ cup (I like to use Ghirardeli dark chips)

Method:

  • Sift flour + whole-wheat flour + baking soda + cocoa + salt 3 times. Keep aside.
  • Stir together the yogurt + eggs + milk
  • In a big bowl, beat the butter + sugar + vanilla essence
  • Gently beat in the yogurt mix…gently, or it might splatter everywhere!!
  • Stir in the sifted flour and chocolate chips until JUST MOIST.DO NOT OVER MIX.
  • Sprinkle on any topping if desired.
  • Put into lined muffin pan and bake for 25 mins (approximately)
  • Test with a wooden pick to see if done.
  • Remove from pan immediately and cool on rack.
  • Can top with a butter cream icing/ganache…but they taste just fine as they are.

Makes 12 regular muffins.

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.
