This one is a return to roots of sorts. A divine recipe that doesn’t need any meddling. Why? Because after 86 weeks of baking muffins you sometimes need a good ol’ classic chocolate muffin to remind you that most time, simple works best.
While the recipe is easily adaptable, I made no significant changes. I found these lovely black and white chocolate chips and switched the plain chocolate chip for them. I also added crushed Oreos in the batter and on top which served as a streusel and added a good amount of crunchiness to the muffin.
These cake-like muffins are packed with choco-goodness, a punch of espresso and Oreos: Perfect with that morning cuppa, no?
