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
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put 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. 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. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.
