These fluffy, sky high, chocolate chip speckled double chocolate muffins are all that you'd want for those low calorie sweet cravings.
In the past 7 (Yes,seven!) months when I didn't blog, I have made these cute little things probably 5 times. A full batch of 12 muffins that is, once at one in the night, when my best friend was at mine for a sleepover. (hello, Nupur!)
What was I doing all this while? I was traveling, planning life in general (ha!), interning, reading and cooking for leisure. Being 22 is different you see. Also, I wanted to feel motivated enough to blog. *sigh, c'est la vie*
Here's a post-ful of pictures to treat your eyes.
Potato CHEESEEE croquettes,
DIY luggage tags,
Favourite flowers *ahh*
and Birthday Chocolate cake (dreams are made of such beautiful things...)
Soooooo, coming back to what finally excited me enough to write a post, this soon-to-be-made-by-you batch of chocolate, sorry, double chocolate, muffins! These muffins are a snap to make, so much so that you can start baking them at 12 in the night and devour them an hour later.
As I took the tray out of the oven at 12.30 in the night, I had a strange feeling of doing something wrong. Seriously, this recipe is I-Must've-Done-Something-Wrong Easy. (!!)
Most of the ingredients are already there in your pantry, and are mixed in one big bowl. No dirtying too many dishes here! We do not like it, we like being resource friendly.
You'd want to make many batches and carry to school/ college/ workplace for your friends, and garner some appreciation and love.
Chocolate loving, calorie conscious people, I got you covered. *happy dance holding this jar of homemade chocolate chips*
Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients-
1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour (220g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1/2 tsp salt
25g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
100g chocolate chips, optional
2 eggs
180g yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil (65g)
1/2 cup milk
handful chocolate chips, for topping the muffins
Method-
1. Line a 12-count muffin tray with liners. Keep aside.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
3. In a large bowl, preferably glass, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cocoa powder and baking soda.
4. In a different bowl, crack the eggs. Add in the yogurt, oil and milk. Whisk together to form an emulsion.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, folding gently. The mixture will be thick and a bit lumpy.
6. Fold in the 100g chocolate chips, if using.
7. Spoon the batter into the liners and top each with a few chocolate chips.
8. Gently tap the tray on the counter, 3-4 times.
9. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, and then bring down the temperature to 170 degrees Celsius while the tray is still inside.
10. Bake for 12-14 minutes more, checking at the center for doneness with a toothpick.
11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then on a wire rack for 15 additional minutes.
Enjoy as a late night sweet treat, or a mid-afternoon craving, or whichever way you like! :)
