Super easy muffins you can whip up in half an hour or less


As much as I love a baking project that requires time and dedication (looking at you croissants) sometimes all I want is some chocolatey hit and I want it fast!

This recipe (adapted from also the crumbs please )is perfect for those times, it is super fast and easy to put together. No special mixing method. Just mix all your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet in another and combine…bam! warm chocolate muffins in less than half an hour.

I used olive oil in place of vegetable oil or butter to make it a little bit more nutritious, I also really like the combination of olive and chocolate flavours.

Because I like my baked goods less sweet, I have reduced the amount of sugar and chocolate chips but feel free to adjust to your liking.

This is also a really versatile base chocolate muffin base, you can add nuts, fruits or any other additions you may like. Don’t like olive oil? swap for neutral oil or maybe browned butter? (mmm) add as little or much chocolate chips as you want, or go for chopped chocolate. So many possibilities!

I do hope you try it! if you do please tag me @dessertsforlunch on instagram :)
