Triple Chocolate Muffins!

These muffins... I don't know where to start! They taste incredible and they've got a really beautiful texture that almost melts in your mouth. They never last long and they drive people crazy, my friend's Mam loves me because of them! :L:L They really are sooo chocolatey and delicious and they turn out perfect every time! I got the recipe from a little BBC colaboration cookbook that (I think) my sister gave me a few years ago. I've made these muffins on more than one occasion and they really do go down a treat! They taste the best on the day they were made but they will keep for a few days, as long as you keep them well covered.







Ingredients:



  • 250g Plain Flour
  • 25g Cocoa Powder
  • half tsp Bread Soda (bicarbonate of soda)
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 85 to 100 grams Dark Chocolate
  • 85 to 100 grams White Chocolate
  • 100g Milk Chocolate
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 300ml  tub Soured cream
  • 85g light Muscovado Sugar
  • 85g Butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence




Method:


Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line 12 holes in a mufin tray. In a large bowl, combine the Flour, Cocoa Powder,  Bread Soda and Baking Powder. Cut or break up all of the chocolate into little chunks and add them to the bowl. In a seperate, smaller bowl, mix together the Eggs, Soured Cream, Sugar, melted Butter and the teaspoon of Vanilla essence. Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, a little at a time, and stir gently. Stir until combined and fairly stiff, but don't overmix! Spoon the mixture into the holes of the prepared muffin tray. I use an ice-cream scoop because it holds just the right amount of mix in one scoop to fill the holes in the tray. :)




Put the muffins into the preheated oven and lower the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for twenty minutes, until they are well-risen. I know its tempting, but your going to have to leave the muffins alone in the tray for about fifteen minutes, before transferring them to a wire wrack to cool completely. The mixture is quite tender so it needs a few minutes exposed to the air to firm up. After they've cooled, you'll want to hide them because they'll all be eaten before you know it! Enjoy! :D
