Nigella Chocolate Muffins
Over the past year, my picky 3-year-old son has developed a strong taste for chocolate—whether it’s no-bake chocolate cake, regular chocolate cake, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies.
Whenever I’m out of meal ideas, I know that chocolate will always be a hit with him. While I limit his sugar and chocolate intake, I do reward him with his favorite treats when he’s been a good boy.
So when I came across Nigella’s double chocolate chip muffin recipe on Food Network, I knew I had to try it. I don’t mind indulging in some delicious chocolate muffins myself, so I baked a batch last week for the family.
I made them into mini muffins, and they turned out absolutely delicious.

The recipe called for 1 3/4 of sugar. I believed these muffins I made just now are bland coz I didn’t read the reviews first and mostly were complaining about it. Oh boy. Was thinking to make it again. Meant for kids farewell party.
