Chunky Chocolate Chip Muffins

Well it has been quiet around here hasn't it? Turns out starting a new full time job is pretty time consuming! Luckily I think I'm starting to get into the swing of things. Certainly I've started to take baked goods in to share with everyone - it's great because I finally have a captive audience to take cake to whenever I fancy!

These muffins weren't the first thing I took in - we had an excess of bananas (hundreds and hundreds of the things) so I took some banana bread in, but I've already shared the recipe for that here (although I didn't treat the office to the fancy toppings, I'm not sure it would have travelled well!)

However, the muffins did go down very well, so now I'm going to share the recipe with you.

320g Plain Flour
2tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
110g Butter (melted)
200g Caster Sugar
2 Free Range Eggs
250ml Milk
2tsp Vanilla
175g Chocolate, chopped

1. Preheat the oven to 220oC.
2. Melt the butter and leave to cool.
3. Put all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix together.
4. Add the melted butter to the caster sugar, milk and vanilla and mix well.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Evenly spoon into 12 muffin cases.
7. Bake for 5 minutes at 220 and then reduce the heat in the oven to 180 for the remaining 15 minutes.
