Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup plain flour/ all-purpose flour.
  • ¼ cup oz cocoa powder.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder.
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt.
  • ½ cup Soft brown sugar.
  • 2 large eggs.
  • ¾ cup yoghurt I use Greek-style yoghurt.
  • 6 tablespoons melted margarine or oil see the note.
  • 2 tablespoons clear honey.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips.
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the muffin/ cupcake baking tray and line every hole with a muffin case.
  2. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 at 200°C/ 400°F temperature.
  3. Place the dry ingredients such as soft brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well using a wooden spoon or hand whisk. 
  4. Put all the wet ingredients, i.e. yoghurt, melted margarine (or oil), eggs and vanilla extract, into a jug. Stir it until all is mixed and smooth.
  5. Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour in the egg mixture. Add in the honey. Then mix it using a handheld mixer or blender. 
  6. Fold ⅔ of both chocolate chips in the mixture, leaving some chips for later.
  7. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared tin cases. 
  8. Scatter the leftover chocolate chips on top of the batter.
  9. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until firm to touch. 

Notes

  • You can use any flavourless yoghurt, i.e. natural yoghurt or Greek-style yoghurt. I prefer the latter.
  • Any neutral oil such as sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, or olive oil is a good choice for the fat. You can also use melted margarine (or that is called baking spread here in the UK) or melted butter.
