Chocolate Chip Muffins

Choco Chip Muffins

Ingredients
220 g self-raising flour
150 g dark/milk/white choco bits
½-¾ cup caster sugar
½-¾ cup vegetable oil (make sure the oil doesn’t have a strong smell and please don’t use olive oil unless extra light)
¾ cup buttermilk or regular milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
Mix all flour, sugar and chocolate together in a mixing bowl.

Separately, mix together the oil, buttermilk, egg (lightly beaten) and vanilla extract.

Make a well in the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into it.

Add flavourings and mix well until just combined. Don’t over mix – it will toughen the muffin

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Grease muffin tray or use liners in the muffin tray.

Pour the mixture into tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes around 12 medium sized muffins.

Tip
You can replace the choco chips with other ingredients like blueberries, grated apple, raspberries, mashed banana etc. Just stick to the weight/proportions though. These turn out incredibly moist and with the perfect sweetness if you stick to the measures.
