Nigella Lawson’s chocolate chocolate chip muffins
2011
You all know how much I love muffins and I wanted to make some for breakfast for my family. I’ve made all sorts of muffins, mostly exchanging less healthy ingredients or amounts to something healthier – but for these I made them just as the recipe intended.
I used to not be such a huge fan of Nigella – but as I’ve watched more and more of her shows, her cooking is really simple – but looks amazing. I remember watching an episode where she made this really simple pasta dish called Slut’s Spaghetti. (I somehow don’t remember her calling that in the show, but that’s the recipe I found at Food TV! 
) She made it and served up a huge bowl and then walked into her bedroom and got all comfy and ate the pasta in bed! I thought that was pretty awesome
Here is the recipe, approved by all three of my kids
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder (I didn’t have that so I left it out)
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
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.
Amazing. What is your favorite kind of muffin and if you’ve got a recipe for one – post a link in the comments, I would love to check them out!

LOL…she probably called it Pasta Puttenesca on the show which translates to “whore’s style pasta.” Slut’s Spaghetti is quite an attention grabber too!
My daughter would love these muffins!
