1. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line 12 standard (125ml) muffin cups with paper cases.
2. Roughly chop the chocolate and set half aside. Melt the remainder with the butter in a bowl set over a pan containing a little simmering water. Stir to combine and allow to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients, mixing together well. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until combined. Pour these onto the dry ingredients, followed by the melted chocolate mixture. Fold together lightly until just combined without overmixing (a few lumps donβt matter). Fold in the reserved chopped chocolate.
4. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin paper cases. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes. When done transfer the tin to a wire rack and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing the muffins from the tin. Muffins are best on the day they are made.
