Super Easy Chocolate Muffin / Lemon Muffin Recipe

I made a double batch of these super gooey muffins by 9am today…that’s how simple they are to make!

I’m going out for lunch so wanted to bake something that didn’t take long. A family friend emailed me this recipe last week and as soon as I read it I knew I had to try it – so today seemed like the perfect day. Muffins are great because they don’t need a lot (or any!) decorating. They’re not the prettiest things I have ever made but their taste sure makes up for it!

Makes 12 large Muffins.

Method:

Pre heat oven to 190°C

• Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Mix the wet ingredients in a jug.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry then stir just enough to combine.
• Place a tea spoon of mixture into to each paper case.
• Top with 1 tspn of Lemon Curd/Nutella/anything you may wish!.
• Then top with remaining mixture.
• Bake for approx 10-15 mins until risen & firm.

Donna also says…

• When cooled place 4 tbl spoons of Lemon Curd in a shallow bowl & heat in microwave until melted.
• Put 50g of golden caster sugar in a shallow bowl.
• Brush the lemon curd on to each cake then dip into the sugar. Voila!

• For the chocolate version  If I’m feeling really naughty I top them with chocolate butter cream as well! The Nutella in the middle stays gooey & Very delic!

My muffins didn’t rise quite as much as I would have liked and the lemon ones took quite a bit longer to cook. But they both taste delicious!

Thanks to Donna Wood for the suggestion!

(The other reason I made these is that muffins tend to last longer than cupcakes…not sure this will be the case for these as I think they will be eaten pretty quickly!)
