DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and line 12 muffin cups with liners. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together the oil, brown sugar, hot water, and cocoa powder.
• Whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
• Stir in one third of the dry ingredients, and one third of the Greek yogurt. Repeat until all is mixed in. Do not over mix. Just mix until it all comes together.
• Fold in one cup of the chocolate chips. Using an ice cream scoop, evenly scoop the batter into all the muffin cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Press the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, into the tops of the batter.
• Bake for 7 minutes at 400 degrees. Then lower the temperature to 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Baking them at a high temperature to begin with yields the high rise.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes, before removing them to a cooling rack, to cool the rest of the way.

Steps:

• First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with muffin liners. We suggest also spraying your muffin liners with cooking spray just in case.
• Next, place dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix.
• Then, in a small bowl, mash 1 large banana. Measure it and add 1 cup to a large bowl.
• Crack 2 eggs into the large bowl and whisk with mashed banana. Add maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
• Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and then mix. Then, add in melted coconut oil and mix again.
• Fill each muffin about 3/4 of the way full (these are going to be big muffins) and sprinkle on a few more chocolate chips. Then, place in the oven at 350ºF and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the center is fully cooked.
• Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove from the muffin tin to continue cooling.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: white whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• In a medium bowl, briskly whisk together the eggs, yogurt, honey, milk, oil, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Gently stir by hand, just until the dry ingredients disappear.
• With a muffin scoop or similar, fill the muffin cups 2/3 of the way to the top with batter. If desired, sprinkle on some extra chocolate chips. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out without any wet batter clinging to it. Place the pan on a wire rack. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently remove them from the pan and place them on the rack to finish cooling completely (don't leave the muffins in the pan or they will start to steam and become a little soggy). Enjoy!

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BLACKBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, and set it aside to cool. Place the eggs and buttermilk out to slightly come to room temperature. You don't want them to sit out for long, just long enough to take the refrigerator chill off.
• Sift the glour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda, and salt together. Stir in the sugar, then create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
• Stir together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until they are well mixed.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to gas mark 4/350F/180°C.
• Prepare muffin tin with paper liners or brush cups with butter.
• Put cherries in a small dish and cover with boiling water. Leave to rehydrate for 5-10 minutes. Discard water and transfer cherries to kitchen paper where they can drain of any excess moisture. (If your cherries are particularly plump then you can skip this step as it shouldn't be necessary).
• In a small microwavable bowl, on low/medium heat setting, melt chopped chocolate and butter in microwave stirring at 30 second intervals until smooth and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Chop cherries into pieces and set aside.
• In a small dish combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and cinnamon, set aside. (This is to sprinkle on the muffins before they go in the oven).
• Into a large mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt, whisk to combine. Mix in the 1/2 cup sugar, make a well in the center and set aside.
• In a small bowl (or measuring jug) whisk together lightly beaten egg, buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and almond extracts. Now gradually add this to the cooled chocolate and butter mixing well until smooth and even in colour.
• Now pour this into the flour/sugar and mix using a folding action until all traces of flour have disappeared and is smooth and even in colour. Finally fold in cherries. (This is a rich and sticky batter so don't be alarmed!).
• Spoon into muffin tins, sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon and bake on the middle shelf of oven for 20-22 minutes.
• NB: I use a Chicago Metallic muffin pan which appears to allow for larger muffins. If your pan is similarly sized then this recipe will make 5 generous sized muffins with good crowns.(23-25 mins cooking time).
