One thing you should know about me is I love cooking and baking. I find it a relaxing activity when I have some free time, and I think sweets and cakes make people happy (me included).
Today I want to share with you my recipe for making some easy and delicious chocolate chip muffins.
Ingredients:
- butter 30g
- 1 egg
- sugar 60g
- white flour (type 00) 125g
- baking powder 6g
- milk 125g
- salt (a pinch)
- chocolate chips 150g
First of all, you will need to melt the butter, you can put it in the microwave for 1 minute at 750kw. Leave it to cool down.
While you are waiting for the butter to cool down, mix the egg and sugar in a big bowl with a whip, until you get a uniform mixture.
Add the flour and baking powder while sifting them. Keep on mixing, and add the melted butter and a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients well, and add the chocolate chips.
Mix again.
Now, you can turn the oven on at 180 °C (356 F). Place the mixture into some muffin moulds, (silicone or paper) and fill only 2/3 of each mould.
Once the oven is hot, put your filled moulds inside and leave them to bake for 20-25 minutes.
An alternative version of these muffins is made by adding chopped hazelnuts instead of chocolate chips and by placing some nutella in the central part of the muffin, like I did in this pic.
Enjoy! :)
