Ingredients

Imperial | Metric | USA
  • 175g self raising flour
  • 50g margarine
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 2 medium egg
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200g chocolate

Optional

  • sugar (a sprinkling for a crunchy top)

Directions

Step 1

Muffin mixture in a bowl

Place the flour and caster sugar into a bowl and create a well in the middle for the other ingredients. Mix the eggs, vanilla extract, milk and margarine and then pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until it is lump free and then add the chocolate pieces. Break them into small pieces first.

Step 2

Muffin mixture in a muffin tin

Pour the muffin mixture into a muffin tin filling each mould up to two thirds full. Place a block of chocolate into the middle of each muffin. Then sprinkle some sugar over the top of each.

Step 3

A cooked muffin in a muffin tin

Cook for around 20 minutes in a pre heated oven at 200ºC / 390ºF / gas mark 5. After 18 minutes or so check to see if they are cooked enough. Insert a knife into one of the muffins and if no mixture is on the knife then they are cooked!
Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before eating.

    I guess my muffin cases are smaller, I got more than 5. I cook it 100g milk and 100g dark chocolate, which was nice, but I'm gonna try using only 100g milk chocolate. And it's even grate warm while chocolates are still creamy :)

    I agree there maybe is a little too much chocolate, even without the chunk in the middle. I used 200g of choc chips and was incredibly chocolately (still scrummy tho) would probably halve it to 100g of choc.

    Skipped the chunk in the middle (seemed like there was enough chocolate already? and I used less than the recommended amount...) but they tasted wonderful, particularly warm, so thumbs up (:

    I loved this recipe but I only used half the amount of chocolate and didn't put the chunk in the middle. It needed a little something extra though, it seemed to be missing something. The Hubby reckoned that a touch of salt might work so next time I'll put a touch in to see.

    Lovely light fluffy sponge cake, though I thought they were better with a bit less chocolate.

    These were really easy to make!

    I also added banana pieces which was nice.

    This recipe makes the best muffins! I add extra chocolate chunks to make them even better!

    I think this recipe is really good although I thought putting chocolate in the middle was a little overpowering.

    This is a really good recipe. I've used it a few times now and they are just great although I don't put the chocolate chunk in the middle anymore. :)

Would you tweak this recipe? If so, how?

e.g. Add half a chopped onion, use less butter, shake not stir...
