This is a quick and easy recipe.  Perfect for a weekend brunch!

Ingredients

  • 250g self raising flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 150g milk chocolate chips (you can use dark chocolate, white chocolate or a mix of all 3!)
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 150ml natural yoghurt (you can use 0% fat to be a bit healthier!)
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl, then stir in the chocolate chips and sugar.
  3. Add the beaten eggs, yoghurt and butter, and stir to combine.  It doesn’t matter if the mixture looks a bit lumpy, it’s more important not to overmix or the muffins will turn out tough.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until 2/3 full.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, until risen and golden brown.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely….. or eat warm (highly recommended!). The muffins will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
