Servings: 12
Equipment
- Mixing bowls.
- Spatula
- Wooden spoon
- Handheld mixer
- Cupcake cases
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup plain flour/ all-purpose flour.
- ¼ cup oz cocoa powder.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder.
- ⅛ teaspoon salt.
- ½ cup soft brown sugar.
- 2 large eggs.
- ¾ cup yoghurt I use Greek-style yoghurt.
- 6 tablespoons melted margarine or oil see the note.
- 2 tablespoons clear honey.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips.
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips.
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin/ cupcake baking tray and line every hole with a muffin case.
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 at 200°C/ 400°F temperature.
- Place the dry ingredients such as soft brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well using a wooden spoon or hand whisk.
- Put all the wet ingredients, i.e. yoghurt, melted margarine (or oil), eggs and vanilla extract, into a jug. Stir it until all is mixed and smooth.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour in the egg mixture. Add in the honey. Then mix it using a handheld mixer or blender.
- Fold ⅔ of both chocolate chips in the mixture, leaving some chips for later.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared tin cases.
- Scatter the leftover chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until firm to touch.
Notes
- You can use any flavourless yoghurt, i.e. natural yoghurt or Greek-style yoghurt. I prefer the latter.
- Any neutral oil such as sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, or olive oil is a good choice for the fat. You can also use melted margarine (or that is called baking spread here in the UK) or melted butter.
