 I am now in bed wondering on whether  i should put this up now or not. I don't really know what to say, except thank you all for sticking by me in this past few months. Every view, every subscription means the world to me, it keeps me motivated! I should bake cupcakes for you all :)

Mmmh-muffins

Muffins are one of the easiest thing to bake, anyone can make them! But making the perfect muffin, thats a all other story. The perfect muffins has that amazing golden "tanned" color, it's a little crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. I aways struggled to get the inside moisture; i read hundreds of cookbooks, watched every possible cooking show on TV but i just couldn't get it right, it always ended up being dry.
One time, i was on a rush so i didn't have much time to blend the ingredients nicely together, the butter in particular was a little chunky. I decided to ignore that and keep going. I didn't have very high expectation due to the lack of time but when i took them out of the oven it was magic. They were the perfect cold color and perfectly moisturized inside. The chunky butter prevented the batter from drying, creating an heavenly tasting little treat.
Long story short, i wanted to share with you this little trick and my favorite chocolate chip recipe.

Ingredients for 6 muffins:
-200g of flour
-100g of white sugar
-1tbs of baking powder (or whatever you use to leaven)
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-2 eggs
-milk (add until you get the perfect consistency, not too runny not to thick)
-1 teaspoon of salt
- 100g of chocolate chips ( you can add more if you want)
-100g of butter

1- in a bowl mix together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder and the salt.
2- add the eggs and the milk slowly while mixing. I think it works best if you use just a regular whisk and no electronic devices. 
3- add the vanilla extract and then add little pieces of butter. Stir until you get your butter chunks the size of a small bean. 
4- add the chocolate chips 
5- poor the batter in the muffin cups and cook for 20min (180°)

To check if the muffins are ready before the 20min, take a toothpick and poke the muffin down to the centre, if it comes out clean and the muffins have a nice golden color, they are ready!
This is my regular chocolate chip recipe, if you want me to write the healthy recipe, please let me know :)

Enjoy!
