Once upon a time, I never used to bake muffins or cupcakes at home. Whenever I craved for one, I used to run to our local bakery. But, once I attempted muffins, I fell in love with baking. I got addicted to the sweet smell of freshly baked muffins. These days, I bake muffins or cupcakes almost every week that my house smells like a bakery. And I love that, too!
I’m a huge chocolate fan, so this double chocolate muffin is a regular in our household. As I was folding the batter, I was thinking how easy it is to whip up a batch of these delicious muffins. I think they would be great for afternoon tea or get-togethers, or even for breakfast on a special day!
Let’s start making these awesome looking muffins!
