Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
1 cup milk
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Special equipment: Muffin tin with paper muffin cases

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into a large bowl. Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, remembering that a lumpy batter makes the best muffins. Spoon into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.

Very good and moist

They were delicious! I did use milk chocolate chips because that's what I had on hand, a little salt and 3/4 cup sugar.

Salt
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

What's missing is not more sugar, but just a little bit of salt - maybe 1/2 teaspoon or so. A more experienced baker might... be able to say exactly how much, but that's why these don't pack the punch you expect them too.Read more

Recipe same as book
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Nigella's book Feast has this exact recipe, with only 3/4 of sugar, not 1 3/4 cup.

written recipe has an error
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

If you watch the video again (it's on youtube) you'll see that her recipe calls for one and 3/4 cup of sugar, not just 3/4... cup sugar listed here on this web site. If you add the extra cup of sugar to the 3/4 cup listed, as well as using GOOD quality cocoa, you will be making the muffins as they were originally intended to be made and they will come out great! These are a new family favorite that I've now made many times. They are great left over, too. Just a few seconds in the microwave to soften them back up a tiny bit. Enjoy!!Read more
