Chocolate Chip, Fudge and Apple Muffins

Chocolate Chip, Fudge and Apple Muffins 

These moist and flavorful muffins are easy and quick like all our recipes. The apple pieces work incredibly well because although not contributing hugely in flavour, they make the muffins wonderfully moist, plus add a soft ‘crunch’ to the texture. Rigid muffin baking cups are great (available from most high Street stores), as they make the muffins easy to eat on the go / pack up for a picnic, plus there’s a little less work to do - no greasing or washing up of muffin trays!! 

As with all our recipes, tweak according to personal preference e.g. if not sweet enough, add extra sugar, if too sweet, add a little less, if packing muffins for a picnic on a hot sunny day, omit the chocolate chips (which could melt). Feel free to leave your own hints, tips and recommendations in the comments section.

7. Bake on the middle shelf of a pre-heated oven for 25 minutes.

     
    TIP: When cool, run a palette or flat edged knife around the inside of the muffin cups and the cakes inside will release fairly easily.
