Butter (unsalted) (softened)

Billington's

Psst. We have the secret to make your already awesome bakes phenomenal. Introducing the finest quality caster sugar for baking – Billington’s Golden Caster Sugar.
What is golden caster sugar? The perfect natural alternative to refined sugar. You can use it in the exact same way and quantity as caster sugar, however, this ingredient adds a magical touch to your bake; a warm golden colour and subtle buttery flavour, ideal for light and fluffy sponge cakes, satisfying shortbreads and dainty macaroons.

Egg(s) (free range)

Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180 °C, gas mark 6). Line a mini muffin tin with paper muffin cases.

Cream the butter and sugar together then slowly add the eggs and vanilla extract, mix for three minutes.

Add the flour, baking powder and chocolate chips stir to combine.

Place a spoonful of muffin mixture into each muffin case, filling each to just over half way.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden on top. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, eat warm or cold.

Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins

It's very lovely. Maybe you could add cocoa powder for a chocolatier taste.🧁

Very dry and a bit tasteless without the vanilla that others suggested. I added some milk to the second batch but still, not a great recipe. Also, 20mins is way too long. I think maybe 12/13mins gives a better result for mini muffins.

I think the batter was mixed a bit too much, I also added some vanilla extract and also put chocolate melts in the middle of my muffins for a gooey centre. Haven't tried them yet, but 8 minutes in and the most delicious aroma is coming out of the oven. Super practical. Super easy.

They are amazing! Thought it was going to be a disaster as I’ve never made them before but they were fantastic! Top stars!!!😁⭐️
