Chocolate Mini-Muffins

Inspired by this recipe. It was a challenge converting this from British to American in a time crunch. Below recipe makes 17-18 mini muffins.

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 6 tsp cocoa powder (or 5 “rounded” teaspoons)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar (it would have probably been better if ~1/3 of this was soft light brown sugar, but I was out of that)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 6 tbsp whole milk (I mixed 2 heavy cream, 3 skim)
• 3+ tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

• Heat oven to 350°F
• Spray mini-muffin tin with cooking spray
• Beat the eggs and milk in a medium bowl
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa and sugars. Make a well in the centre and tip the milk mixture into the well along with the oil and vanilla. 
• Whisk everything until you have a well-combined, smooth batter. 
• Fold through most of the chocolate chunks. * Spoon the mixture between the cupcake cases and top each one with some of the remaining chocolate chunks.
• Bake in center rack for 11 minutes (for full sized muffins, just convert this to ~20 mins). Toothpick should come out dry.
