Delicious chocolate chip muffins are so easy to make, even kids can do it! This video was shot at a cooking school in Fort Canning for an episode of Okto's Hobby TV, back in January 2004. Catch my 3 boys (then pre-schoolers) in action at this fun Chocolate Chip Muffin baking class!
After 7 years, I simply have no idea where the recipe has gone. However, it was a simple one which did not require the children to operate machinery. The recipe below, adapted from one I found in www.LauraInTheKitchen.com (with video), is also very easy and can be mixed & baked within 30 mins without using an electric mixer. Most importantly, the muffins turned out really well!
Ingredients A
1 Cup cake flour (or plain flour)
½ Tbsp baking powder
Pinch of mixed spice or ground cinnamon
Ingredients B
1 egg
1/3 C milk
1/4 C corn oil (or 55g of melted butter)
1 T sour cream (sub: kefir; yogurt; milk + 1/4 tsp vinegar - stand 2 mins)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 C sugar (mix of brown & white)
Ingredients C
3oz - 6oz chocolate chips (I used Hershey's mini semi-sweet chips)
Method
1) Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
2) Mix Ingredients A. Use 1 Tbsp of the flour to coat the chocolate chips (this helps prevent them sinking later). Set aside.
3) In a large bowl mix Ingredients B well. Fold in the flour quickly, followed by the chocolate chips. DO NOT OVERMIX. It's OK for batter to be a bit lumpy.
4) Scoop batter into the tins.
5) Bake for 15-18 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Rest muffins in tin for 5 mins, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool (or they will get soggy).
