Chocolate Surprise Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into a large bowl. Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, remembering that a lumpy batter makes the best muffins. Spoon into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, brown sugar, butter, oil, vanilla and eggs until smooth.
• Quickly fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins from the pan to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, and spray the liners lightly with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and orange zest in a medium bowl until no sugar clumps remain. Fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. (Don't worry if there are a few lumps.)
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup liner. Stand a strawberry in each, point-side down. Evenly divide the remaining batter among the liners. Smooth the batter around and on top of each strawberry with a spoon. (It's OK if a little bit of strawberry pokes out.) Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the tops.
• Bake until the muffins are golden and spring back when pressed in the center, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
