Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 355F/180C and line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Spray lightly with oil.

Step 2

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 3

Combine the wet ingredients in a jug or smaller bowl.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined (a few lumps are fine. Don’t overmix.)

Step 5

Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the muffin cases (you can fill almost to the top) and bake for 17 to 25 minutes. After 17 minutes keep checking every couple of minutes. A skewer pushed into the centre of the muffin should come out without raw batter on it, and the muffins should be nicely golden brown.

Step 7

Let cool completely on a wire rack before eating so that the muffin cases don’t stick. Reheat for 15 seconds in the microwave after peeling off the muffin case if you’d like to enjoy a muffin warm!
