Ingredients

1½ cup (190g) maida (all-purpose flour)

2 tsp baking powder

½ cup + 1 tbsp (125g) sugar

¼ cup (4 tbsp) oil

¼ cup (55g) salted butter, melted

2 eggs

Pinch of salt

1½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup to ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Approx. ¼ cup milk

Makes 8 slightly large muffins

Procedure

1. Sift the maida and baking powder.
2. Whisk the sugar, oil, and butter.
3. Then add the eggs and whisk some more.
4. Stir in the vanilla and salt.
5. Next, fold in the maida and the milk.
6. Add more milk if needed to adjust the consistency of the batter to a ribbon-like consistency.
7. Fill the muffin moulds (vatis lined with muffin liners) to at least ¾ of their capacity. This batter makes 8 slightly large muffins.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for the first 5 minutes and at 180 C for the next 20 – 25 minutes, till the tops of the muffins are a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. If using a muffin pan, the muffins would be slightly smaller in size and you would need to bake the muffins at 200 C for the first 5 minutes and at 180 C for the next 15 – 20 minutes,
9. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
