Top 3 reasons for choosing to bake muffins:
3. 9 out of every 10 recipes can be put together in under 10-12 minutes
2. It needs no fancy equipment and more likely than not your pantry already has the ingredients in your pantry
And the No. 1 reason to choose muffins:
1. It’s the best excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast
This week’s muffins delivers on all three counts. All you need is a bowl, a measuring jug, simple pantry staples and you will be delivered the most moist, dense, and delicious cappuccino chocolate muffins.
I highly recommend baking these in the morning; forget that second cup of coffee – wake up the aroma of cappuccino and chocolate, then eat it in a muffin.
