Chocolate Muffins

I love Chocolate and anything with Chocolate, be it Milk, White or Dark Chocolate ... as long as it has Chocolate in it, I'll eat it and drink it. Okay, I admit I am a Chocoholic ;)

These Chocolate Muffins are a standard bake in my kitchen, as they're easy and quick to make and taste yummy. And they are great for Birthdays and other Occasions.

Makes about 12-15 Muffins.

Ingredients

• 2 Eggs
• 220 g Caster sugar
• 110 g Self-raising flour
• 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 160 ml Evaporated milk
• 150 g butter
• 120 g chocolate chips (optional)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 175 °C
2. Put 12-15 Paper muffin cups into Muffin tray (grease tray a bit with Butter to help the paper cups to stick)
3. Beat the eggs with sugar, mix with flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and evaporated milk.
4. Fold in the melted butter.
5. Add chocolate chips; coat them with flour before mixing into the batter.
6. Bake at 175 °C for about 20-25 minutes (or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean)

The Chocolate Muffins can be served hot or at room temperature.

Variations
