Chocolate muffin



One reason that I like to make muffin is that it is very easy. Just mix everything together and tadaa! Muffins with a glass of milk makes a very good breakfast. You can store them in containers and before you want to eat it, just pop it into the microwave and warm it up a little and it will taste like you just baked them.

So I am craving for something chocolate-y recently... :D


Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup unsalted butter (Melted)
Semi sweet chocolate chips (Optional)*


Directions

Preheat oven to 180 Degree C.

Beat the eggs with sugar. Mixed in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, vanilla and milk.
Add in the butter. For me I like to use either whisk or a spatular to mix the ingredients. This can prevent over mixing which will make you muffins comes out too tough.

*Optional : You can add in some chocolate chips if you want, depending on your preference.

Pour mixture into muffin cups, about 2/3 full. Bake for about 20 - 25 mins. Depending on the size of you muffin cups. Mine is about the medium size cups. If you are using bigger ones, you may increase the baking to time to about 30 mins.



For me, I like to eat my chocolate muffins with vanilla ice cream. I think they are really a perfect match. Can't go wrong with it. :)
