Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Muffins - Nigella Lawson

My brother in law staying in Kelantan came to visit us this morning.I knew he was coming.But I didn't know he brought three of his kids along.I haven't cooked anything.And I always make something for my nieces and nephews when they drop by.So while I was making Chicken Rice I asked syaima' and Umamah to make some muffins for their cousins.Invited them to watch and help them as well.Syaima' searched the recipe on the iPad and landed on this recipe from Nigella Lawson.It tasted good.Some may want it to be more chocalatey so you can more cocoa powder to the ingredients.

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

  1. Muffin tin with paper muffin cases
  2. Preheat the oven to 200CPut 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. 
  3. 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.
