Chocolate Chip Muffins - 巧克力豆松饼

Adding a handful of chocolate chips to the usual vanilla scented muffin batter always turn them into great tea snack. These moist and fluffy delicious muffins can be eaten either warm or at room temperature together with a glass of cold milk or tea. And beside the chocolate chips filling sometime we also love to sprinkle extra chocolate chips or nuts on top of the batter before sending them into the oven.



CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS


If you take a look at some of the muffin recipes, all you need is to combine two bowls of ingredients such as “dry and “wet” together to form the batter. But in order to achieve a light and fluffy texture for the muffin, you have to take note not to over mix the batter or else it will be tough.

And for those who love high-domed muffins, the trick to achieve is to fill your muffin liner/tin with thick batter (not thin) to the rim and baked at high temperature (preferably 220°C /428°F) for the first 5 minutes to lift up those beautiful domes.


Recipe adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction and The Little Teochew

(Make: 6 Regular Muffins | Preparation: 10 minutes | Baking Time: 20 minutes)

Ingredients:
    Dry Ingredients - (A)
  • 165g All-purpose Plain Flour
  • 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt

  • Wet Ingredients - (B)
  • 1 Large Egg (60g)
  • 80g Caster Sugar
  • 120ml Fresh Milk
  • 60ml Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

  • 80g Mini Chocolate chips
  • Some Walnuts (whole), optional
  • 20g Mini Chocolate Chips (extra), optional

Method:-
1. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F) and line muffin tins with muffin liners or alternatively grease muffin tin.

2. Stir Ingredients (A) together in a bowl till well-mixed and set aside.

3. Whisk Ingredients (B) together using a hand whisk starting with egg and sugar till combined then followed by the rest (I replace vanilla extract with 1/2 vanilla bean pod).

4. Pour mixture (B) into (A), using a spatula gently fold mixture to combine until no trace of flour is found (the batter will be thick and lumpy so do not over mixed it).

5. Lastly fold in chocolate chips and spoon batter into prepared muffin tin all the way to the brim (do not 't worry the batter will not overflow). Top with optional chocolate chips or walnut on top before baking.

6. Bake at 200°C for the first 5 minutes and then reduce temperature to 180°C for another 25 - 30 minutes until surface is browned and a skewer inserted in the center and comes out clean.

7. Remove muffin tin from the oven and allows the muffins to cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes before removing it on a wire rack.
