Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hi Friends

After a short break for my vacation in India – I’m back!

Thanks for visiting my site and for your feedback, I’ve tried my best to reply to most of your questions, if in case I have missed out anybody, please feel free to buzz me again. Look forward to more delicious treats and recipes in the coming months….

Here’s one for starters – Chocolate Chip Muffin.

  1. Butter/Margarine – 115gm/4oz @ room temp
  2. Caster Sugar – 70gm/2.5oz
  3. Dark Brown sugar – 30gm/1oz
  4. Eggs – 2 @ room temp
  5. Plain Flour – 215gm/7.5oz
  6. Baking Powder – 1 tsp
  7. Milk – 125ml/4floz
  8. Plain Chocolate Chips – 170gm/6oz

Preheat the oven to 375F/190C, 10 minutes before baking. Grease 10 – 12 muffin cups or use paper cases. With an electric mixer, cream the butter until soft. Add both sugars and beat until light & fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Sift together the flour & baking powder, twice. Fold into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.

Divide half the mixture between the muffin cups. Sprinkle several chocolate chips on top, then cover with a spoonful of the batter. To ensure even baking, half fill any empty cups with water. Bake until lightly coloured, about 25 minutes. let stand 5 minutes before turning out.

Note: It can be stored in an air tight container @ room temperature upto 3 days.

    Hi maria,

    In this recipe, please clarify me one sentence “To ensure even baking, half fill any empty cups with water”.Do we need to put an extra cup with water half filled with water along with the cup cakes tins?

    Your suggestions would be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Rushi

      Hi Rushi

      If you are using a 12 hole cupcake/muffin tin for baking this recipe & if your batter is enough for making only 10 cupcakes, you have to fill the other 2 empty muffin holes with water, only half way though.

      If you have enough batter to make 12 cupcakes then you dont have to do this.

      Hope its clear now….

      Happy baking :)

      Cheers
      Maria

  • Rusheeda Rajamohanan

    Can we pour the same batter into a cake tine and bake it like a cake?
