Chocolate Chip Muffins - Vegan / Allergy-Friendly

Hi everyone! I hope that your week is going well. I have returned to tell you about some chocolate chip muffins that I like to make. Everyone I have given them to seems to like them, so they are great to share with friends and family, or to have as a back up if you go to parties. They are super easy to make, as you will see below!

Here are the ingredients :

• 420g of plain flour, or gluten free all-purpose flour with xanthum gum included.
• 400g of caster sugar. 
• 6tbs cocoa powder.
• 2tsp of bicarbonate of soda.
• A tsp of salt.
• 2tsp of vanilla essence.
• 2tsp of vinegar - pretty much any type will do.
• 10tbsp of vegetable oil.
• 500mls of cold water
• A bag of Moo Free chocolate baking drops, or other similar free-from chocolate chips.

This is how you make them!

1. Firstly, sieve your plain four and cocoa powder into a bowl.
2. Next stir with the other dry ingredients.
3. Add your vanilla essence, your vegetable oil and, then add your vinegar. The vinegar is important for the reaction that makes your cakes rise, so don't add it earlier than necessary or it may not rise so well.
4. After that pour your cold water over it the whole lot, and mix them together.
5. Mix half of the chocolate chips into your cake mixture. You don't have to use a whole bag, just half of whatever you want to use.
6. Pour the mixture into muffin cases, in a muffin tin, and then sprinkle some more chocolate chips over the top of the cakes.
7. Cook at about 170 degrees in a fan oven. 
8. They need to cook for about 20 minutes, and you will know that they are done when you put a knife into the middle of the cake and it comes out clean.

I hope you enjoy making these muffins. They are so tasty to share with your family. This mixture will make you quite a few muffins, depending on how big you make them.

Also, I would like to use this blog post to say a big Thank You to Moo Free for choosing me to win the delicious Christmas chocolate bundle competition! I was super excited to win it, as I didn't know that anyone had voted for me, and Moo Free is my favourite chocolate! Thanks to everyone who voted for me too, it was so lovely of you all and you said the nicest things about me. I enjoyed sharing the Moo Free chocolate with my sister, now that she can eat some of it too. It made us both smile.
