Muffins and chocolate – two of my favourite things! You can make these delicious double chocolate muffins in minutes – this recipe is so easy with or without a Thermomix!
These are some of my all time favourite muffins and one of the all time favourite recipes on the blog and with good reason! These babies are quick, easy and all kinds of yummy! I love that the recipe calls for just a handful of fridge and pantry staples and that the recipe is so simple that I can have a tray of muffins fresh from the oven in less time than I can walk to the shop (and there’s a shop just around the corner!)
If you need, you can easily make these muffins dairy free, if you substitute your favourite milk alternative and use dairy free chocolate chips – these muffins will still taste fabulous!
I’ve updated the recipe with some new pics and a Thermomix conversion so everyone can get in on the muffin action.
