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.

I baked these muffins today. My children loves it. Will bake it again for Easter Day. Tks Bee.
Hi,
Can I substitute the veg oil with melted butter ? Same quantity ? Thanks !
Wondering if I can substitute apples sauce for the refined sugar in this recipe?
I think you should just use sugar. Apple sauce has too much water content I think and will probably render this recipe unsuccessful.
Hihi… Any difference if using normal size muffin cases? Thanks
You can use regular muffin case…might have to bake longer.
Wowww… lovely muffins.. looks absolutely tempting!!
