METHOD

1.Preheat oven to 180°C.

3.Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and spray with oil. Make sure you spray the liners (paper or silicone), or the muffins will stick.

4.Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tin. Drop 3-5 mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

5.Bake the muffins for 23-25 minutes or until the muffins are cooked through and the edges browned.  

6.Remove from the oven, and let the muffins cool before serving.

Note: Muffins will keep in a sealed container for 1-2 days at room temperature or 5-7 days in the fridge.
