1.  Start your chocolate muffin recipes by preparing your muffin tin by slightly spraying with oil or line with paper cases.

2.  Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another.

3.  With a wooden spoon make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

4.  Add all of the liquid mixture into the well of the dry mixture.

5.  Stir the mixture only until it is moistened. Don't over mix it as this will result in a  heavy texture.  It should have a lumpy center.

6.  Fill the prepared muffin tin (or muffin cases) only two thirds full to allow for rising.  Use a rubber spatula to push the batter from a spoon into the muffin tin.

7.  Bake the muffins according to the recipe.  Don't overcook as they will turn out dry and tough.  

Muffins are done when they are golden brown, firm to the touch, come away from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and dry.
