Blueberry and Chocolate Chip Muffins

pre heat oven 180 degrees

300g Self Raising Flour
1 and a half teaspoons Baking Powder
100g Sugar
200g Milk Chocolate
100g Blueberries
100ml Sunflower Oil
250ml Milk
1 Egg
1 teaspoon vanilla Essence

  1. Prepare a muffin tray by greasing lightly and setting to one side.
  2. Mix together all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. (including the blueberries)
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, milk, egg and vanilla.
  4. Add the liquid mixture into the dry and mix well
  5. The mixture will be lumpy but that's OK.
  6. Divide the mixture into 12 muffin cases.
  7. Bake in the oven for approx 20 mins.

These muffins are defiantly better eaten warm as the oozing blueberries and the melted chocolate are just delightful.
