Great big chocolatey muffins...

Since my Kieran bought me Mad About Muffins: Uniquely Delicious Muffins Everyone Can Make for Christmas, I've always wanted to make these chocolate and cream ones, but never have cream but yesterday I got the cream and got to baking these beauties, and it was worth it - I'm not usually one for over indulging but I had two of these in a couple of hours, they're all gooey in the middle and mouth-watering. I only made half a batch but now I'm wishing I'd made more...

Chocolate & Cream Muffins

Ingredients
285g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
1tbsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
170g light brown sugar
100ml milk
190ml double cream
2 eggs
100g baking margarine
150g milk chocolate, chopped into chunks

1. Preheat the oven to 180'c and put your muffin cases in the tin.

2. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, pushing the cocoa and sugar through a sieve with the back of a spoon.

3. Combine the milk, cream and eggs, mixing with a fork but not thickening the cream.

4. Melt the butter in a pan or in the microwave.

5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix with a metal spoon.

6. Fold the chunks into the batter.

7. Put the batter into the sections and cook for 23-25mins until well risen, cool for a bit before eating.
