DISH NAME : CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Preparation Time : 30 minutes

Baking Time : 25 to 28 minutes

Description

These muffins give you a double dose of chocolate, as they have both cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Muffins are always mistaken as cupcakes.
The difference between muffin & cupcake is in the making of the two batters. With cupcakes the creaming method is most often used, where the butter and sugar are beaten together, to which eggs are added and then the flour is folded in. With muffins, most times we need only two bowls, one for wet ingredients and one for dry ingredients. Combine the two and batter is ready. That is why muffins are also called "quick bread".

Note

1) You can use any type of cups or moulds to make muffins. Muffin cups are generally bigger in size.
2) Muffins are usually eaten for breakfast. They can also be served with tea
3) Maida can be substituted with wheat flour. If so, increase buttermilk by 2tbsp.
4) I made with both maida and wheat flour & did not find any difference in taste.
5) Will keep in the fridge for a week.
