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!

Nigella's Choc Chip Muffins Recipe

Here's the lady herself to tell you how easy it is to make these delicious treats!


Here is Nigella's Choc Chip muffins recipe 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!

    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.

    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.

    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:@)

    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.

    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
