  • 1 Large bowl
  • weighing scales
  • Measuring spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • measuring jug
  • whisk
  • Metal spoon
  • ice cream scoop

Ingredients
 

  • 150 grams plain flour
  • 25 grams cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 40 grams caster sugar
  • 125 millilitres buttermilk
  • 50 grams butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 50 grams chocolate chips plain (semi-sweet)

For Decoration

  • 30 grams milk chocolate
  • 30 grams dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180 Fan
  • 150 grams plain flour, 25 grams cocoa powder, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
    Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips into a large bowl, use a spoon or dry whisk to ensure they are well mixed.
  • 50 grams butter
    Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove.

    Melted butter
  • Pour the wet ingredients onto the dry ingredients.
  • Take a large spoon and fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones - quickly, in about 15 seconds.
  • Don't be tempted to beat or stir, and dont be alarmed by the rather unattractive, uneven appearance of the mixture: this is what will ensure that the muffins stay light.
  • Use a large ice cream scoop to divide the mixture between the muffin cups.
  • Bake on a high shelf in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until well risen.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling tray.

  • 30 grams dark chocolate
    Chop the remaining dark chocolate into small pieces.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the muffins and scatter over the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Leave to cool and set.
