I have been busy with orders of pineapple rolls for the upcoming Chinese New Year. And I am craving for some chocolate bakes. The 1st thing come in mind is muffins. I found this when I looking for easy to prepare chocolate muffin recipe. When I mentioned easy prepare means mixing dry into wet ingredients. The extra step for these muffins is melting the chocolate which I don’t mind.
This double chocolate muffins texture is moist and tender with rich chocolaty flavor. I reduced the usage of baking powder and baking soda as feel too much with the amount of flour used in the recipe. I reduced the sugar too as I'm using semi-sweet chocolate instead of dark chocolate. I’m kind of regret reducing too much sugar. Next time will increase another 10g of sugar.
