Pour all wet ingredients into dry, and stir until combined, no dry flour should be visible.
Fill muffin cases 3/4 full and sprinkle tops with chocolate drops or nuts.Bake for 20-25 min’s.
( I put the chocolate drops or nuts into the muffin mixture rather on top )
Now enjoy !!!
Foxy… Done you another recipe…….Enjoy !!!
Ohh Sally, I don’t think there is much chance of that. What with all the Walking & Cycling I do. I’m the one of the lucky ones who can eat and not put weight on, my ex-girlfriend was very jealous of that.
I’m going to have the last three tonight with a pint of lager. Thanks again.
Foxy, will do you another recipe…..look out for it on my recipe page……just dont blame me if you put on weight 🙂
Hi Sally, again.
I’ve enjoyed baking the Muffin’s tonight, but boy they did smell and taste good. I’ve had 4 already and go down well with the Mc.Ewans Champion.
Can you do me another recipe, any will do.
Cheers
Foxy (the secret muffin eater)
Hi foxy,
That was quick work, hope they taste as good as they smell, if you want another recipe just ask, banana ones are good with choc or nuts…
Hi Sally, Well I’ve just make my first batch of Choc Chip Muffin’s and they have just come out of the oven and look delicious (smell good too). Just waiting for them to cool off, I did add some Glace Cherries (left-over from xmas) and went to town on the Choc Chips. it will give a excuse to get some training done for C2C in 12 weeks time.
Thanks again.
Foxy, cannot wait to see the photos.
Ellee, just one now and again wont hurt….
We are now all going to put on half a stone – how many miles will we have to trek to walk it off?
Hi Sally, it will be a real pleasure to do so, maybe with a few photos thrown in.
I will try it too! Sounds wonderful.
Foxy , Glad you like the recipe, hope you enjoy making them and eating them even more…you must let us know how your walk goes 🙂
Thanks for the recipe, Sally. What a kind person you are. I shall print the recipe or write it down and will bake some. for 4/5 days, I would say a dozen muffins will get me across the Lakeland fells.
Thanks again.
I imagine you still have to walk a few miles to “earn” it.
