Somehow i needed to clear some of my stuff, so i thought of baking. So i baked a whole bunch of muffins on Saturday. Well i didnt have all the ingredients, so i had to buy some. Anyway, this is the 2nd time i baked these chocolate babies and they taste really good. Just that during the 1st time, i used larger muffin cups and this time its smaller. But still had the same amount of goodness in it. Mmmm mmmm

I used the chocolate muffins recipe to bake a butter carrot bunch as well. These babies are dense and actually quite heavy. Dont expect the light muffins that you get outside.

Here’s the recipe for a serving of 10 medium ones.

2 eggs
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 cup (130 g) plain flour
6 tablespoons cocoa powder. I used Van Houten’s. Put more for cocoa aroma.
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2/3 cup (160 ml) milk
2/3 cup (160 g) butter
4 oz (120 g) semisweet chocolate chips

How to prepare :-

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F or 180 deg C.
2. Grease 10 medium muffin paper cups.
3. Beat the eggs with sugar, mix with flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and milk.
4. Fold in the melted butter and add chocolate chips.
5. Fill muffin cups with mixture until 3/4 full. Bake until a until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 25 - 30 minutes.

Funnily, my recipe changed a bit for the last batch as i ran out of plain flour and added some self raising flour, then i added less baking powder considering that I’m using self raising flour. Look at the photo above and see how my muffin raised sideway. Most of the muffins in that batch was like that. Its pretty looking

All in all i baked 30 muffins. These muffins are good served hot or cold out of the fridge. Enjoy !

a very early morning flight. I just hope that Da Boss is not fussy and can sleep throughout the flight but the thing is, he was sleeping when we went to pick him up just now at 5.30pm. Chances are he could be well awake during our flight to KL. *cross fingers* If he is awake and fully energetic, omg i am seriously going to get a headache.

Speaking of headache, i just got to know that doctors uses Botox for headaches treatments. It is most certainly odd as i only know that Botox is used to reduce skin wrinkles. Hmmm i wonder how the treatment is administered. Imagine this, a lady went to consult a Beverly Hills plastic surgery physician and said “Hey doc, give me bigger boobs and you might as well cure my headache at the same time?.

Check back soon for updates. In the meantime, i sincerely hope that you take some time to read my old posts. Who knows, you might find one or two interesting posts. Take care everyone !
