Chocolate muffins = happy friends!

Plenty to write about from this weekend both foody and knitty, I'll try to catch up during the week. But for now here's something that can't fail to generate squeals of excitement and a happy mouth-full-of-cake type of quiet. For Kirsty...

DOUBLE CHOC MUFFINS

Ingredients
125g plain choc
50g cocoa powder
225g self raising flour
1tsp baking powder
50g dark brown soft sugar
pinch of salt
125g plain choc chips
225ml milk
60ml (4tbsp) vegetable oil
1tsp vanilla essence
1 egg

Method

• Heat oven to 220C and line a 12-hole muffin tray.
• Melt the plain choc, remove from heat and stir in other ingredients, beat well.
• Spoon mixture into cases and bake in center of oven for 15min until well risen.

Dead easy! (PS I did this with M&Ms once instead of choc chips becuase I didn't have time to go get the real thing - worked quite well and they had pretty coloured bits in them!)
