As requested, my muffin recipe, as given to me by my office-mate.
This is a great basic recipe, which can be altered in various different ways.

Preheat oven to 200oc (400of). Place muffin cases in a muffin tray.

In a large bowl, place 8oz (225g) plain/all-purpose flour14oz (100g) sugar

Martha & the Muffins - Echo Beach. Ooh, I see what you did there! ;-)

While I remember, is the recipe for those yummy chocolate brownies you made for childeric's party online anywhere?

*point*

Brownies; Thoroughly grease the most non-stick tin you have. Pre-heat oven to GM 4, 150oc.
In a pan, melt 3 oz dark chocolate with 4 oz butter.
When melted, beat thoroughly and allow to cool a little. Add 8oz sugar, 2 oz plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, a pinch of salt and two eggs. Combine, and add 4 oz chocolate chips (or 4 oz mixed toasted nuts if you prefer). Pour into the greased tin, bake for about 30 mins.
When they come out of the oven, leave them to cool in the tin for a while, as the middle tends still to be squishy.

Excellent, thank you. I shall try that out at the weekend. :-)

I usually do a double batch, partly because I don't have a baking tin small enough for a single batch!

Hope they work out!

I'm pleased to see your muffin recipe is actually reasonably low fat!

[sushidog]

*point*
As cake recipes go, it's not too bad, especially as, if you use sunflower oil, most of the fat is polyunsaturated!
You could probably make it healthier by using some brown flour or oatmeal, to make bran muffins.

Bloody hell, you can't say the same for the brownie recipe!

[sushidog]

*heh* No; when my mum first gave me the recipe, I thought there must be a mistake in the amount of flour vs sugar, but it's right; that's what gives them the chewy/crunchy texture.
But no, not really diet food.

Oooh, yum! Might try and make some tonight!

[disco_hoof]

Oooo I think I'm going to try making those! Roughly how many does that recipe make?

[sushidog]

Oops, sorry; makes 12.

[disco_hoof]

Thanks! :)

Hurrah, I have been wanting a chocolate muffin ever since I read this post this morning. And now I've managed it, albeit a small and slightly inferior muffin from Bakers Oven.

Small, achievable, chocolatey goals rule :)
