Muffins are just cupcakes without frosting.
The batter is thick and that’s exactly how it should be and its super easy to rustle up these muffins ready for your afternoon cuppa and a good film. Add lots of chocolate chips to these muffins because you want the chocolate all the way through these muffins.
The batter needs to be thick as muffins are meant to be dense unlike cupcakes…so I guess my opening statement is not quite right but still. If the batter is thick then you don’t risk the chocolate chips sinking to the bottom.
The minute these start baking they will make you hungry because they smell great. No matter how tempted you are to eat one the minute they come out the oven, please wait until they have cooled as we don’t want any burnt tongues.
Now I baked mine for 35 minutes but I did check on them after about 25 minutes just to check them as you don’t want them to be overcooked and dry. If the tops have started to brown then you should look at taking them out.
I used a toothpick to check these were cooked in the middle but you can also just press your finger into the top and if they spring back then they are ready to come out.
