Questions about Chocolate chip muffin
How do you stop chocolate chips sinking to the bottom of muffins?
Toss the chips with a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter, and avoid overmixing once they are added. A thick batter helps keep them suspended.
How long should you bake chocolate chip muffins?
Bake them in a preheated oven at 190 °C for about 18–22 minutes. They are ready when a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out without wet batter; melted chocolate on it is fine.
How should you store chocolate chip muffins?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Refrigeration can make them dry; freeze them individually wrapped for up to three months.
Can you freeze chocolate chip muffins, and how do you thaw them?
Yes. Freeze them once cool, then thaw at room temperature for about an hour, or warm a thawed muffin in a 160 °C oven for 5–8 minutes.
What goes well with a chocolate chip muffin?
A muffin pairs well with plain yoghurt or fresh berries, which balance its sweetness. For a more filling breakfast, have it with a boiled egg or a handful of nuts.
What is the difference between a chocolate chip muffin and a chocolate muffin?
A chocolate chip muffin usually has a plain, lightly flavoured batter studded with chocolate pieces; a chocolate muffin has cocoa mixed through the batter, so the crumb itself is chocolate-flavoured. Chocolate muffins are often richer: they contain 416 kcal per 100 g, compared with 320 kcal in a chocolate chip muffin.
Can you make chocolate chip muffins without chocolate chips?
Chopped dark or milk chocolate works in place of chips; chop it into small, roughly even pieces so it spreads through the batter. For a different flavour, use chopped dried fruit, though the muffins will no longer have the same chocolate taste.
