Double Chocolate Chip Muffin 7Aug2010

Ingredient:

250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp cocoa powder
175g caster sugar
150g chocolate chips (save 1/4 of the chips for sprinkling)
250mil milk
90ml vegetable oil
1 large egg
1tsp pure vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200c
2. Put flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar and 3/4 of the chocolate chips into a large bowl and mix well.
3. Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug and mix well.
4. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together with slow and gentle strokes. Stop stiring once the last trace of flour disappear. Do not overmix. A lumpy mixture will ensure the muffins stay moist and fluffy.
5. Spoon the batter into paper muffin cases.
6. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate ships on top and bake for 20min or till the muffins are dark, risen and springy.
