CHOCOLATE-CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-muffin tin with paper liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Lightly whisk the eggs in a second medium bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar, sour cream, applesauce, oil and vanilla.
• Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry with a rubber spatula. Just before the batter comes together, fold in the chocolate chips (it's okay if there are lumps in the batter). Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and cool completely on a rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line the muffin tin with paper liners and lightly coat with cooking spray. (This may seem like overkill, but otherwise the muffins will stick.)
• Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then whisk in the butter, brown sugar, milk, oil and vanilla.
• Quickly fold the wet ingredients into the dry with a rubber spatula. Just before the batter comes together, fold in the chocolate chips¿don¿t mix the batter too much or the muffins will be tough. Divide the batter among the muffin cups (1/4 cup of batter per muffin). Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Turn the muffins out of the tins, cool on a rack. Serve slightly warm with jam.

CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a muffin tin with six muffin cases. Sieve the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a medium bowl. Mix together the egg, sugar, oil and milk together in a jug, then gradually pour into the dry ingredients (add chocolate chips now to make double chocolate muffins, if you like) and mix until combined.
• Spoon the mixture evenly into the cake cases and bake for 20-25 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
• Meanwhile, gradually mix ½-1 tbsp water into the icing sugar until you have a loose consistency that's not too runny. Drizzle the icing over the muffins once cool.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl, then stir in the chocolate chips and sugar. Add the beaten eggs, yogurt and butter, and stir to combine. It doesn't matter if the mixture looks a bit lumpy, it's more important not to overmix or the muffins will turn out tough.
• Fill the paper cases and bake for 20-25 mins until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool - or eat slightly warm. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.
