Best Moist Double Chocolate Muffins – Delishar

“Wow! This is unbelievable!”, was what my 3 year old exclaimed when she took her first bite into these moist, chocolatey and totally delicious one bowl bake. Yup, you got it right. A one bowl, no mixer required, super easy, ultra yummy muffins! Took me about 15 minutes to prep, as speedy and easy as a premix! But definitely more delish! The husband said that this has got to be one of the best things I have made to date, and he carried on to say that I have made a lot of different food.

I took half the batch to work, and one of my female colleagues had 2 of these muffins at one go. And with every bite, she was going “Mmmm Mmmmm Mmm”. Enough of me trying to convince you how good these muffins were. If you are not planning to make it, then you are probably missing out on something really really good.

This is the wholemeal flour I like to use. 

 

Best Moist Double Chocolate Muffins

Sharon of Delishar

  • 1 cup 128g whole wheat/meal flour** (or all purpose flour if you don’t have any, read note)
  • 1 cup 128g all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup 150g castor sugar
  • 1/2 cup 64g good cocoa powder (I used Valrhona)
  • 1 tsp espresso powder ** optional, read note
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup 175g chocolate chips
  • 1 cup 245g greek yoghurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup 120ml + 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup 120ml vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste/vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup 45g chocolate chips for topping
  • Preheat oven to 180C.

  • Line muffin pan with paper liners.

  • In a large mixing bowl, add flours, baking soda, salt, sugar, cocoa powder, sugar, espresso powder, and 1 cup chocolate chips.

  • Whisk to combine.

  • In a measuring cup, add yoghurt, egg, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.

  • Whisk till combined.

  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

  • Using a spatula, mix until batter is just combined and still lumpy.

  • Do NOT overmix!

  • Spoon batter into prepared liners, and top with remaining chocolate chips.

  • Bake for 18-20 mins or until skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  • Leave to cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

  • Store in airtight container.

  • Serve with a glass of milk.

Whole wheat and wholemeal flour is the same thing. If you are not using whole wheat flour, then there should be a total of 2 cups of all purpose flour in this recipe.
The only purpose of the espresso powder is to enhance the taste of the chocolate. You will not be able to taste the coffee, and it is too little to keep you up like what cup of coffee does. If you don’t have it or is uncomfortable adding, then please omit.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed Chocolate Muffins – Delishar

Yup, I think I get a little out of control with the peanut butter cups when I visit the USA. It is so cheap there! We lugged back about 1.5 to 2 kg worth of Reese’s peanut butter cups. *grin* And as I was unpacking, I was mentally going through what I’ll do with them. I’m was jet lag, but I yearn so badly to make something with the abundance of PB cups.

In my head, I was battling between going to bed or going to bake. Well, as you can see. Going to bake won, and I’m glad it did. 40 minutes to whip this up and pretty effortless. But my girls were so happy to be able to enjoy this treat (although they were only allowed to share one) and I got to deliver some the muffins to some really awesome people. 🙂 Makes me happy to know that it put a smile on their faces.

The muffins turned out moist and chocolately. My dear friend loved the hint of saltiness from the peanut butter cup and chips. Can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate can we?

Greek yoghurt has a thicker consistency as compared to regular plain yoghurt. However, you only have regular plain yoghurt, it is a good substitute.

Jam Filled Chia Seeds Muffins – Delishar

I have been down with a bacteria infection a week ago, that left me pretty weak. It was not a good feeling being sick. Fatigue, bodyache, coughing my lungs out, runny nose, and a fever that spiked to 41*C. Luckily there were some pockets of time where I felt a little better, with the help of fever reducer and pain killers.

Perhaps it was because I was ill that I was craving for something sweet but not junk. I’ve had plans to bake the kids a treat before I fell sick. So I took the opportunity when I felt a little more energetic to whip up a simple one bowl bake to satisfy my craving, and made breakfast for the kids at the same time.

It was also this period that Alce Nero, in partnership with Singapore Home Cooks Facebook Group, sent me a bag full of healthy organic goodness! Do visit Singapore Home Cooks Facebook Group and be inspired to make your own healthy 30 minutes organic meals!

Orange Muffins – Delishar | Singapore Cooking, Recipe, and Lifestyle Blog

This muffins were almost impossible. Don’t get my wrong, they are super easy to make. All you need to do is blend, mix, and bake. It was almost impossible because my oven died on me while it was preheating. I had everything prepared and ready to go. Then the electricity at home tripped! Everything was dark. At first, I thought it was some electrical appliances that my helper was using in her room. Or my steam iron that has been giving us problems. But I turned around, and my helper was right behind me. 

I checked, turned off my oven then the circuit breaker stopped tripping. My heart was broken. I was thinking, oh my… no more baking/roasting for me! A part of me kinda died with the oven as well. And I was really disappointed as I have promised my girls to make them orange muffins. The only saving grace is that the oven died at the time when I was about to mix my wet and dry ingredients. My heart would break even further knowing that those ingredients have to go to waste. So I started packing up, and sealing stuff in air tight containers, hoping that my oven will rise from the dead the next day.

Then I proceeded to give my oven a pampering spa scrub, bath, and a good massage. Then stuck a thirsty hippo in to absorb all the moisture as I read moisture is a common culprit for causing the oven to trip. Well, the next day I crossed my fingers, toes, hair, and eyes while I walked over to turn my oven back on. IT WORKED! IT’S ALIVE! I LIVE AGAIN! Phew! I was so freaking happy.

I happily pulled out all the ingredients that I’ve saved and started the process again. Finally threw everything in my blender to blend. Mixed it and into my preheated oven. I literally stood by my oven to watch it bake, while gently coaxing it, and verbally encouraging it to hang in there and not die on me again. Definitely showing it a lot of love and attention, but it was well worth it!

The house smells amazing while the muffins were happily rising in the oven. The aroma of butter and orange was driving my saliva glands and tummy crazy. And the smile on my girls faces in the morning was priceless. The muffins were fluffy, and kind of have a texture of light butter cake. They were gone in no time at all. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Blueberry Streusel Muffins – Delishar

Blueberry muffins itself are already so yummilious. Top it with crunchy streusel bits, irresistible. To me and my whole family at least. I love how the blueberries burst into this sweet gooey goodness as it bakes. Oh my, my tummy just gave a loud growl as I visualise the oozy berry surprise nestled in a warm, moist, and fluffy muffin. With the streusel topping forming the outer crust of the muffin, each bite gives 3 different texture and 3 different flavours marrying into one delicious muffin.

Whenever I make muffins for the family, it wouldn’t last very long before they are all gone. However, blueberry muffins seems to go the fastest. Well, I am guilty of having one too many as I’m a lover of blueberry muffins. Especially when they are warm and fresh out of the oven. I have problem waiting for them to cool before biting into one. My reason is that I need to test taste my bake goods right? I call it quality assurance. 😛

Banana Peanut Butter Nutella Muffins – Delishar

The night before baking, I asked my girls if they would like to make some muffins for breakfast. The both of them jumped in joy, randomly shouting out the muffins they’d like to make. “Apple muffins! Chocolate muffins! Banana muffins! Yummy muffins!”, they were so excited. So we had a short discussion before deciding on banana muffins, and of course with some chocolate in it. I suggested Nutella. This is going to be the first time that they are introduced to that jar of sinful deliciousness. 

Yeah, we have been pretty strict about the girls’ diet. But we also believe in everything in moderation. The girls have to earn their own muffins by making it themselves. With some help from mummy, of course. My eldest, Melody helped with measuring the ingredients, mashing the bananas, and whisking the dry ingredients. Peighton lined the muffin tins, and helped with mixing the wet ingredients. They both took turns to mix in the wet and dry ingredients. And while I wasn’t looking, they sneakily popped a few peanut butter chips in their mouth.

PhotoGrid_1448422276556

It was a learning experience not just for the girls but also for myself. I had to learn to let go, and not be such a perfectionist about flour flying all over the place, and not exact measurements. I had to tell myself that each swirl that the girls created is uniquely beautiful on its own. It was an experience where I had to focus on the present, and allow myself to take in the positive energy exuded by the girls, rather than focusing on the should haves. I’m thankful for this experience, and grateful for the smiles and joy on the girls faces. They were truly mindful, and being in the moment. I’ve got so much to learn from them.

Oops! This post sort of took a turn to be a reflective piece! Oh well, the muffin turned out awesome by the way! They were soft, fluffy, and makes the perfect little snack! If you have not tried baking with your kids, you should. It’s a great bonding experience, but be prepared to make a mess, and just have fun. 🙂

Chocolate Chips Banana Nut Oat Muffins (Oil-free) – Delishar

After all that Chinese New Year goodies binge, I decided on making a healthier version of muffins. I made some oil-free muffins made with oat flour, coconut sugar, dark chocolate, bananas, and walnuts for the family to snack on. Be sure to use overly ripe bananas whenever you are using it for baking as it is much sweeter and has a better consistency. If you do not have coconut sugar, you can always substitute it with brown sugar. 

The greek yogurt and bananas used in the recipe kept the muffins moist. The crumbs of these muffins are unlike those that are tender and will fall apart or crumble. These muffins are still moist but has a denser texture. Nonetheless, the girls still enjoyed their share of muffins. Can’t really go wrong with bananas, walnuts, cinnamon, and chocolate can we?  Granted, it isn’t the same texture of muffins that you are probably used too, but you’ll definitely feel much better eating one or even two. 🙂

Apple Crumble Muffins – Delishar

I love baked apples. They turn into this warm, soft, and sweet gooey goodness that melts in your mouth. Whenever there’s apples, there need to be cinnamon. It should be illegal to separate the both of them. I made these lovely spiced apple muffins for the people that works hard at the foot reflexology place that I frequent.

Just before I packed them into cupcake boxes to deliver it to them, I added a little something special. I had a jar of salted caramel sauce laying around in the fridge and knew that it’d be such a great combination to these delicious muffins. So I drizzled some salted caramel on top of the crumbles before packing it. 

Apple Crumble Muffins

These muffins were a hit with the masseuses! They loved the salted caramel with the sweet decadent crumbles, moist vanilla muffin, and was pleasantly surprised when they bit into the caramelised baked apples! I’m so glad that these muffins were able to put a smile on their faces. And I’m sure it would put a smile to yours or your love ones too.

Best Moist Blueberry Muffins – Delishar

This is one of the best blueberry muffins recipe I’ve tried. It yields a soft, fluffy, kinda cake like crumbs, and the yogurt used ensures that you get moist muffins. Tossing the blueberries with a little bit of the dry ingredients keeps the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the batter when it’s baking. Topping fresh blueberries on top of the batter before baking gives you that visually pleasing look as the berries explodes and bleeds down the sides of the muffins. I don’t know about you, but that is just plain sexy to me. 

Blueberry Muffins 5

When I took my first bite of the muffin, I was blown away. Not overly sweet but so freaking good! I lost self-control and had 2 at one go, the husband had 3. LOL. I took a batch to share with the teachers and canteen vendors. All the feedback gathered confirmed what I already knew. So I’m really excited to share this great recipe with you, and hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we all did. I’m putting this on my muffin rotation list! While you are at it, try out my other Blueberry Streusel Muffins recipe!

Easy Chocolate Chips Muffins – Delishar

The kids could not wait for the morning to come, so that they can enjoy these muffins I baked for breakfast. They kept coming out of their room to tell me that they are too hungry to sleep, and will need to have a muffin to fill up their tummy. All puppy eyes, sweet voices, and super cutesy expressions… I caved and gave the girls 1/2 a muffin each. The husband too, sneaked 2 in his belly just before he went to bed. Naughty naughty!

Chocolate Chips Muffins 4

I shouldn’t be complaining much, because I had one, right after it came out of the oven. I mean, I have to taste it right?! Also had another after I took pictures, because it’s already torn apart for pictures, and who can resist those little chocolate chips in there?! Come on, don’t judge. 😛 

The recipe yield moist muffins because of the buttermilk used, and it has a slight caramel taste because of the brown sugar added instead of just castor sugar. By the 2nd day, my batch of muffins were all wiped out! The girls were all smiles in the morning and all chocolate faced! What a priceless image of them. Come to think of it, I should have taken some pictures to share with all of you. Never mind, next time. 🙂
