Muffins

I really fancied baking today, so I decided to bake some muffins.

Here's how I made them - easy, peasy!

• 150 g self-raising flour
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 orange
• 90 ml milk 
• 60 ml vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 30 g plain chocolate, finely grated

Place all ingredients (except chocolate) in a bowl and mix well. 

Then add chocolate to the dough and stir.  

Pour onto muffin cases, only 3/4 full as muffins will rise! 

Place in preheated oven at 140ºC fan (or 160ºC if fanless) and bake for 30 minutes.

Don't be fooled by their pale colour, prick them with a toothpick/skewer to check if they are done. They should be ready after 30 minutes, unless your oven is playing up.

This recipe yields 8 muffins. Let me know if you have a go ;)
