Nigella's Chocolate Chip Muffins

[the annoyed thyroid]

Makes 12
These are muffins in minutes! It actually takes me longer to walk to the shop than to make these little babies! Perfect results every time!

Ingredients

175g raw sugar

250g plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2 tablespoons good quality cocoa powder

150g dark chocolate chips, plus a few extra for sprinkling

250g milk

90g vegetable oil

1 egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How to

1. Preheat oven to 180C / 160C fan-forced. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.

2. Mill the sugar for 3 seconds  on speed 9. Set aside.

3. Pour all the liquid ingredients into the TM bowl. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 5.

4. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and the chocolate chips into TM bowl. Mix for 5 seconds  on speed 4, using the spatula to mix. Don’t over mix – remember a lumpy mixture makes the best muffins!

5. Use an ice cream scoop to spoon the mixture  into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle with some extra chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.

astarra - Just about to pull these out of the oven now - they look and smell great.  They taste great too, thanx for the quick easy recipe TAT.
I seem to get way more than 12 tho and find they need a bit longer cooking time, but worth it to see the grins on my DDs's faces!

Yvette - I made these recently and they were delish.

JD - I whipped up made 12 and cooked them a further 2 minutes but didn't have enough choc chips so used some white to make up the quantity.  Easy as and they look great, perfect thanks Sam.

deedub - Got these in the oven now, very easy, thank you!

Hally - Thank you, so easy quick & tasty.

BZB - Yum! Gotta make these. Easy peasy.
Made 21 small muffins in the Air fyer today. Cooked in 3 batches. Preheated to 160, 13-15 mins per batch.

Thermo18 - Finally got around in making these wonderful muffins, so quick and easy.

Maddy - I alternate making these, and Nigella's banana choc chip muffins. I don't think a Nigella bake has failed me yet.

Rafael - Even in Belgium, your recipe is a success! I sell at least a dozen a day, made with Belgian chocolate of course!!

ETA - they taste great too, thanx for the quick easy recipe TAT. My DH will be so pleased to have choc muffins in his lunchboxes again after months of fruit ones (not that he minds fruit ones, he just adores choc ones more!)
Pics added too.

I love the muffin papers.  I do wish I had someone to eat lots of cakes and biscuits as I would dearly love to bake very day. The boys that lived next door have gone as the house is a rental.

Oh...want to borrow a few girls for a while Cookie?  They will gobble up any baking!!  ...one problem tho... I don't think I could bear not having them here.   
The cases are so cheap - $2 for 25. But I should be using up the huge stock I have of muffin tin liner ones so I can get rid of the trays and just use the cases.  (More room for different tins then!!  )

I've been trying to avoid this recipe Astarra. Your muffins look fabulous yet again. Guess I can't avoid making them much longer.

Try them, Kimmy - go on, you know you want to!! 
They are honestly so quick and easy, and the texture is just perfect!!!
...Convinced yet? 

Only 3 left out of the 16 made yesterday - and they are all in the girls lunchboxes. 

[Kimmyh]

Yep, convinced me. Soon 😉

I whipped these up tonight -  made 12 and cooked them a further 2 minutes but didn't have enough choc chips so used some white to make up the quantity.  Easy as and they look great, will sample one when they cool down.  

Taste test - perfect.  Thanks again Sam.
