Recipe: Choc-chip Berry Jam Muffins
Mar. 1st, 2014 09:20 pmAnother riff on Bittman, as per last weekend.
These muffins aren't too sweet, and the chunks of jam throughout (especially while hot) are delightful.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Few spoonfuls of a nice berry jam (try to go with something tart like raspberry or blackberry)
- 80 grams sugar
- 45 grams melted butter
- 250 grams plain flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 240ml milk
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 190° celcius. Line a 12-cup small muffin pan and spray/grease the liners
- Mix together dry ingredients and chocolate chips
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (excluding jam) together well (whisking the egg)
- Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients. Fold in gently only until all dry ingredients are wet - just before it's done, add some spoonfuls of jam, and gently fold in. You don't want to blend the jam through, but leave nice chunks (!IMPORTANT).
- Spoon mixture into muffin pan
- Bake in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes, test with skewer/toothpick
- Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to cooling rack
- Eat while they're still warm!
