Chocolate Chips Muffin

After browsing for some new muffin recipe online the other day I baked the Apple Cinnamon Muffins for my kids and they don't like it! I'm not going to share the recipes here because the apple muffin is more like steamed cake to me. Both my daughters, they loved cupcakes especially the one with chocolatey flavour. They both loves chocolate and I end up baking this Aunty Yochana's Chocolate Chips Muffin☻ for them as breakfast. I make the small cup size for they can bring it to school as well.

Since my house still have a dark cooking chocolate bar, I substitute the same amount of chocolate chips with this chopped dark chocolate. It's moist and soft, not too sweet and it's delicious!

Try this recipe if you want the not too chocolatey - chocolate chips muffin. Muffins that's not too sweet with the bits of dark chocolate in it. The muffin is still soft even after 2 days☻
