How to Bake Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

How to Bake Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

After not baking for so long, I wanted to get back in to it with something I haven’t made much of before. In the end I decided to go with muffins. I have made muffins before, but I didn’t have a proper tin, or the right cases, so they turned out to be more like cupcakes.

This recipe is from Dr Oetker, and it’s different from anything I’ve done before. The recipe I’ve used is pretty much the same, but I didn’t have enough chocolate chips, so I had to improvise with what I had.

This is How to Bake Double Chocolate Chip Muffins!

Ingredients

Ingredients

275g Plain Flour

1 Tbsp Baking Powder

50g Cocoa Powder

115g Caster Sugar

2 Medium Eggs

225ml Milk

115g Melted Butter

1sp Vanilla Extract

75g Chocolate Chips

75g White Chocolate Chips

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 170°C fan oven/ 375°F/ gas mark 5. Prepare the muffin tray with the cases.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in to a bowl. Next stir in the sugar, and add the chocolate chips. This is when I realised I didn’t have any white ones, so I had to use star sprinkles.

Chocolate Mixture

Combine and make a well in the centre.

In a separate bowl mix the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla together. Once everything has been mixed pour in the centre of the well. I melted the butter in the microwave, removing it every 10 seconds to mix until it had fully melted.

I thought the mixture would be too runny with all of that liquid, but after some mixing it turned out fine. It should end up as a stiff batter.

Divide the mix equally and smooth the top over. I baked mine for around 19-20 minutes, and they could have done with a tiny bit less. The recipe says 25 minutes, but I always take these times with a pinch of salt, as my oven is normally hot enough to go for less when I finally get around to putting them in.

To check if they had cooked I used a cocktail stick to stab the centre. If it comes out clean it’s done. You can also tell by the feel of the top, if it’s well risen and firm then it’s good to go.

Transfer to wire rack to cool, and then store as desired.

    These muffins look and sound so so good! I love baking muffins, cupcakes, and cakes, especially anything that’s chocolate. I love that this has white chocolate in it too because that’s my favorite kind of chocolate. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I’ll have to give it a try!

    Okay WHY am I reading this post at nearly midnight?! I now want to bake some yummy muffins and just stuff my face. Absolutely ADORE the look of these and I’m such a huge fan of anything chocolate. In fact, the chocolatier, the better! I love the cute little white stars and I definitely need to bake these soon with my other half. Although I don’t think I’ll be able to resist eating nearly all of them…

    Oh my gosh those cookies look so amazing! I am a major chocoholic so I got major cravings just from that picture of the chocolate chips (luckily I’ve got half a pint of vegan chocolate chip cookie dough left, that I’m most definitely gonna go for right after I type this haha). I cook a lot, but I actually don’t bake and have never baked anything from scratch before, but I really want to!

One year old baker at work👩🏼‍🍳

I’m surprised we had any mixture left to be honest😂

Water play keeping us sane in the first heatwave🌊

@trenthamestate days are our favourite🌳

Making a strawberry cheesecake went as well as the cupcakes😂🍓

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

My idea of a very good night😂

Noah graduated nursery🥺

@costacoffee dates❤️

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣
It doesn’t matter where we are in the world, I wil It doesn’t matter where we are in the world, I will still have a carbonara🍝😂

A little roundup of things we had in Greece, that wasn’t from the all inclusive buffet😅

My holiday essentials☀️✈️ Don’t get me wrong, I h My holiday essentials☀️✈️

Don’t get me wrong, I had a full makeup bag just to the side, but these were always out😂

From the iconic @soldejaneiro 62, which always reminds me of holiday to my much loved @charlottetilbury palette 😍

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm ani The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm animals, Tractor Ted and ice cream 🚜🍦

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵
Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
