Muffins

Recipe for muffins if anybody is interested. They are very simple recipes nothing fancy to it. Just some delicious wholesome home baked muffins. It is easy to do , you don't even need a mixer  just a whisk and a pair of strong arms!

Black and white chocolate chip muffin.

Wet Ingredients:
113 gms melted butter - I tend to use salted, if you are using unsalted justadd a  pinch of salt to the dry ingredients.
2 Large eggs
240ml milk (better to use buttermilk)
2 teaspoon of vanilla

Dry ingredients:
230gm of self raisng flour
1 teasspoon of bicabonate soda
70 gms of cocoa powder
200 gms of sugar (note: I have lessen the sugar here because I do not want it to be too sweet. The original requires 250gm of sugar)
170 gm of choc chips - semi sweet. (I like to add white choc chips. If you are mixing then the portion should be half and half)


Banana Muffin

Wet ingredients:

3 large riped banana - meshed (If you are using smaller ones like pisang emas, then you will need about 6)
115 gms of melted butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Dry ingredients:

225 gms of self raising flour
100 gms of brown sugar (Again the sugar has been reduced for me. Original requires 150gms of sugar)
1 teaspoon of  bicarbonate og soda


These are two of Rachel's favourite. She just loves muffins, cakes and cookies. Hopefully I will be able to share more recipes as I go along. Happy baking!
