Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate Chip Muffins (american style)

These large muffins are best eaten on the day of baking.


What do we need:


250 gr self-raising flour
1 level teaspoon of baking powder (backing dr. oetker)
50 gr softened butter
75 gr caster sugar
175 gr plain chocolate chips
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250 ml milk


1. Preheat your oven to 200C. Place muffin cases into a 12-hole muffin tin.

2. Measure the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, then add the butter and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and chocolate chips.

3. Mix together the eggs, vanilla extract and milk, then pour the mixture all in one go into the dry ingredients. Mix quickly with a wooden spoon to blend. The mixture should have a lumpy consistency. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases in the tin, filling almost to the top.

4. Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until well risen and firm to the touch. Leave to cool for a few minutes in the tray, then lift out the paper cases and cool the muffins for a little longer on your wire rack.
