Double Chocolate Muffins

Double Chocolate Muffins:

Makes 6 large muffins.

  • 250g plain flour
  • 2½ teaspoons of baking powder
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
  • 175g dark chocolate chips
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 125g sour cream
  • 185ml milk
  • 90g butter, melted
  • Icing sugar to dust (optional)



Can't be bothered with the hassle of weighing or mixing all the ingredients, why not try our chocolate muffin mix?

You can use muffin cases instead of greasing the tin.


Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/ Gas 4).
Brush a 6-hole muffin tin with melted butter or oil. Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa into a large mixing bowl.
Add the sugar and 130g of the chocolate chips and mix.
Make a well in the center.


Step 2:
Add the combined egg, sour cream, milk and melted butter all at once and stir with a folk until just combined.
(Do not over beat the batter, it should look quite lumpy.)


Step 3:
Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and scatter with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm.
Loosen the muffins with a flat-bladed knife and turn out onto a cooling rack.
When cooled dust with icing sugar or use the topping suggestion below.


Topping Suggestion:
Combine 50g chocolate, 1 tablespoon cream and 10g butter in a pan.
Stir over a low heat until smooth.
Refrigerate until firm, then pipe over the muffins.
