Triple Chocolate Muffins

Triple Chocolate Muffins

Makes 6 jumbo or 12 standard sized muffins

Ingredients

• 250g (2 cups) all-purpose (plain) flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 120g (4 1/4 oz, about 2/3 cup) chocolate chips/chunks
• 180ml (3/4 cup) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 80ml (1/3 cup) sunflower oil
• 2 large eggs
• 200g milk chocolate, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease a muffin pan with vegetable oil or line with paper liners.
2. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In one bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Toss through chocolate chips/chunks.
4. In a second bowl, whisk together condensed milk, vanilla, oil and eggs, in that order. While whisking, drizzle in the melted chocolate – it will still be warm and you don’t want the eggs to cook, so you are tempering them by mixing it in slowly.
5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir just enough to combine, only until moistened.
6. Spoon batter into the muffin cups. Bake in centre of oven for 27 minutes for jumbo or 22 minutes for standard sized, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with just a few small crumbs.
7. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
