Snacks for School - Chocolate Muffins

Hello 2016! This year started off with a big milestone for my #1 - primary school. The school gives kids a 10 minutes snack time at lunch hour so I've been inspired again to make food for lunchbox.

My best friend who is make awesome bakes shared her recipe for muffins with me. The first batch was made as per her instructions. However, it created more utensils that I would like to wash and clean up. Being the lazy me, I modified the recipe  use as little utensils as possible. Thus this recipe would only need - 2 big bowl, 1 tablespoon, , 1 fork, 1 butter knife and 1 weighing scale.

Hub was lucky and had the first bite after these chocolate muffins came out of the oven. Verdict from the Hub: Very good.

So here it is, Chocolate Muffin Recipe for the very lazy me.
