Muffin (WOAH-) Man

Seriously, I have just found my new 'go-to' muffin recipe. Sure, it has flour, egg, sugar, dairy - all those things people tend to be allergic to or avoiding these days. But this is a no fail, you're-sure-to-have-THAT-in-your-pantry, hurry-up-kids-are-starving, kind of recipe. And from 'better turn the oven on' to 'kids stuffing faces', it is about 20 minutes. And I only had to do about 2 mins work! I like-ee!

It is from the awesome Chelsea  recipe (sure they are trying to keep us addicted to sugar....). Evidently they swiped it from Allyson Gofton...


Chocolate Chip Muffins


Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup Caster Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk


Method

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl until just mixed. (Don't over mix or muffins will be tough.)
  • Spoon into well-greased muffin tins (about 3/4 full cups). And that's about your job finished. The oven does the rest!
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cooked.


Ideal served warm. Realistically, they won't have a chance to cool down....

This recipe made 18 normal sized muffins.
