    Top Tips

    What's the secret of a good chocolatey muffin? Tips and tricks to make that perfect double chocolate cup cake.

    1.  Always check the expiry date of your ingredients. Store them correctly.
    2. Keep everything ready before you start making the batter. This ensures you do not end up mixing too much, which in turn alters the end results.
    3. Ensure the batter comes together before you pour into cup cake liners.
    4. You should be able to pour your batter once ready. If it is too thick and dense, you will end up with dry muffins. Adjust the liquid content according to the nature of the batter.
    5. Try to pour the batter with a large spatula into each muffin liner evenly. If you end up filling one more than the other, it wont look even and bake evenly. Hence, pour equal amounts one by one. Later top up to adjust the quantity.
    6. Always give them a little tap on your counter once you fill them evenly. This helps remove any air bubbles.
    7. Also, ALWAYS preheat your oven or air fryer at least for 5-10 minutes.
    8. Never open and close the oven very fast when you are checking your results. This can result in muffins rising and then falling flat. That is quite depressing though it may still taste good.
    9. Always prick with a toothpick in the middle of the muffin to see if they are evenly baked. Let them rest at least 10- 15 mins before you cut. I KNOW that this is the hardest part. Especially if you have kids who cannot wait for it to be ready. Keep them distracted for a little while. This will stop them from crumbling when you are ready to cut.

    Happy baking!

    You can use milk chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate chips, as per your taste. You can also use.  Self raising whole wheat flour instead of self raising all purpose flour. However, you might need to increase the liquid content  slightly in this case, as whole meal flour is bit dense. Cook time might also increase by few minutes.
