Vanilla Choc-Chip Muffins

INGREDIENTS:

2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla essence
1& 1/2 cup (250 grams) cake wheat flour or all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup (62.5 grams) melted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
1&1/4 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. SIft the flour and baking powder and set aside
In a large bowl mix the melted butter, oil and eggs. Mix in the vanilla essence and add the sugar. Mix for about 1 minute using a whisk. Mix in the buttermilk
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, when you can no longer see the flour. Mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Do not be tempted to over mix
Divide the batter equally amongst the 12 liners. They should be almost full. It’s what will give the muffins a beautiful rise
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of choc-chips on top of each muffin
Turn the heat to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean
Remove the muffins from the pan and cool them on a cooling rack
NOTES

The buttermilk can be replaced with milk
