Notes

The secret to moist, tender muffins is mixing until the ingredients are just combined and making sure to take the muffins out of the oven as soon as they are baked.
All-purpose, standard grade, plain flour or cake flour in South Africa.
  • Whittaker's Creamy Milk - 33% milk chocolate or equivalent.
  • Whittaker's Blondie - Caramilk or white chocolate will work in a pinch.
For fan-forced or fan-assisted ovens decrease the temperature by 20°C/25F.
