These triple chocolate muffins are deliciously rich and stuffed with dark, milk and white chocolate. Making chocolate muffins is like therapy – when I fancy some thing sweet like these yummy muffins then if I bake them then the craving just disappears well for me anyway! This does not seem to works for the kids, they always seem to want me.
Now I wish I can pretend that these are the healthiest muffins ever, but as these are full of chocolate, sugar and fat…calories just should not be counted instead count the internal satisfying moments instead. As I tend to follow a 95% vegan lifestyle, when a moment of naughtiness occurs these are often my go to treat ( well at least a bite).
So one of my chocolate tips is to use cocoa which has been dutch processed which is darker in colour and just works better for baking.Dutch cocoa is chocolate that has been treated with an alkalising agent to modify its colour and give it a milder taste.
These generously sized muffins are perfect for a breakfast on the run, elevenses, sneaking sweet lunch or after, afternoon snacking or dessert! Yes they are pretty much universal.
These ultimate triple chocolate muffins – moist, tender, and extremely chocolatey. If you’re making chocolate muffins, go all out and make them right!
I think after fair few practice batches, these is the perfect recipe for the right amount of moist, rich chocolate flavour. Although kids have not been complaining being my little testers! I do think the size of the muffins makes a difference, you want them not to tiny in a fairy cake case and not overfilled massive muffins either as that just hinders the waist line.
