The story behind the recipe
These muffins bring back such a lovely memory. It was our first wedding anniversary, and even though the weather outside was awful, I wanted to do something special for my husband. I decided to bake these muffins for him. He loved these so much that he asks me to make them almost every other weekend! What started as a little anniversary surprise turned into our weekend rituals. I hope to pass this recipe down to my children one day, so they enjoy these muffins too and know the little story behind them. ❤️

Ingredients
1 large egg 50 g light brown sugar 40g plain Greek yogurt 57 g melted butter (unsalted) 80g plain/all-purpose flour 15 g cocoa powder baking powder (¼ tsp) baking soda (¼ tsp) 70 g dark/ milk chocolate according to your preference, (chopped) 30g chocolate chips Pinch of salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tray with 6 muffin cases. In a bowl, add the egg, brown sugar, greek yogurt, and melted butter. Mix until everything is well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently mix until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate and chocolate chips. Gently fold them into the batter (save some for putting on top for decoration). Divide the batter evenly between the 6 muffin cases. Put the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips (the ones that were kept aside) on top of each muffin for decoration. Bake at 180°C for 22–24 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure there is no wet batter. Let them cool in the tray for about 10-15 minutes before you enjoy them.
