Chocolate chip muffins

Make these easy chocolate chip muffins with kids over the weekend or school holidays. They take just 15 minutes prep and are a guaranteed family favourite

Ingredients

• 250 g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 150 g chocolate chips, milk, white, dark or a mix of all three
• 100 g golden caster sugar
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 150 ml natural yogurt
• 100 g unsalted butter, melted

Steps

1. Heat the 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.
2. 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 in an airtight container for three days.
