When you need a quick chocolate fix, here’s what I will do ~ Double Chocolate Muffins ! Muffins are relatively easy to put together and it’s something that the mixer can do without. So save the hassle of setting it up and washing the huge mixer bowl. I am not exactly a chocolate fan, so do not really fancy chocolates on its own but when it comes to cakes, I am quite receptive BUT it also applies to certain kinds only ! Hahaha. I am abit fussy in that sense, I must admit. I don’t fancy dark chocolates coz they are too bitter for me and I don’t like anything chocolate in its liquid form either. So if you were to ask me to choose between chocolate or strawberry Pocky, my choice would be a definite strawberry. But on the other hand, if you were to ask me whether I would eat strawberry as a fruit, I don’t either !! Hahaha. Erm, ok I am VERY fussy then !
Why I called these muffins double chocolate is because other than the cocoa powder that we used in muffins, and instead of the standard milk that we would used as the “liquid” for muffins, I had it replaced with chocolate milk. Hence , it becomes a “double” chocolaty portion. And it’s that simply rustic to make, particularly useful if you need a quick fix anytime.
I need my TGIF fix to come sooner too !!! Please come quick !! :D
