My family and I have a new food obsession....
Nigella Lawson's Choc chip muffins!
These muffins are delicious, easy to make and they are super-chocolatey!
It is so easy to vary the recipe too. I added some coffee, figs and lindt balls to mine and they were a taste sensation!
Here's the lady herself to tell you how easy it is to make these delicious treats!

Here is the recipe for Nigella's delicious Choc Chip muffins via Food Network.com
Serving Size : Makes 12
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
1 cup milk
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Special equipment: Muffin tin with paper muffin cases
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into a large bowl. Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, remembering that a lumpy batter makes the best muffins. Spoon into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.
Enjoy with a cup of tea and your favourite magazine!

Did you say Chocolate? We'll be right over...they look delicious :)
What a perfect combo, tea, chocolate & a magazine to read. This is something I love to do. I am honestly not a muffin person but I would try chocolate anytime.
How lovely, I just made a cup of tea and put on some soft music, turned on my computer and your blog was up with this beautiful display.
Your chair is divine by the way.

They look delicious:)
Scrumptious! Love the coffee and fig add, so wonderful :)
Dear Natasha, I love your blog..I also love the color pink! The muffins do look sensational..as for the 5 minutes...well, we all must try a little harder to find time...I know that I order a magazine and rarely get a glance at it...I must take your advice...Blessings,Catherine
YUMMY! I will definitely be using this recipe! :O)
That Nigelle receipe is one of my staple favourites too - it always works, no-matter what tinkering I do to change the flavours. Maybe I'll whip up a batch this weekend....I definitely like the sound of the lindt balls in the middle.
Happy Friday.

Yum and adding that hint of coffee sounds awesome!
I just love how she cooks. I like to put add ins in too..the gooier the better..these look wonderful ;D
Oh I always love a new use or is that excuse for Lindt balls - yummo!! Cheers x
OMG....those cup cakes look so delicious.
They look fab Natasha! I'd have a hard time prying the Lindt from my sticky fingers to add it to the cupcakes though... maybe I'll just keep that to nibble while I'm waiting on the baking:@)
Oh, my word! Those muffins look divine. I love watching Nigella on TV. It's like a quick trip to London, and such yummy-sounding food!
I love how informal and decadent Nigella's cooking is. She seems to truly LOVE food, cooking and eating...a girl after my own heart!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I love that you added truffles to them. This is my kind of muffin!

Your cupcakes look fabulous, Natasha! I've never thought of adding figs but I imagine it would help them to be very moist. Love the china you had your tea and cupcake with - simply gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by to say hello.

Hi there Natasha~ These look amazing!!! Oh delicious!! Thanks for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday! :)
Chocolate chip muffins - that works for me! Belated Happy PS. Maybe next time I will make the "rounds" sooner.
They look amazing!
Miss Nat,
divine invention and adding the coffee - you had me at hello (one of my favourite scents in the world is coffee).
I think they would be the tastiest muffin tops in the world too, so crunchy in the right places.
wishing you a lovely day
x Loulou
