Hi Bold Bakers, you know, I love to utilize my microwave.
We started out years ago making microwave mug cakes, which now have 10s of millions
of views, then we graduatedf to making whole cakes in the microwave and even full batches
of brownies in the microwave.
Right now I'm going to show you how you can make delicious chocolate chip muffins in the
microwave in less than five minutes.
So brace yourselves, this is going to be a good one.
So here over my mixing bowl, I have a sieve and into this i'm going to add some flour,
cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and some salt.
And then just sift all these ingredients together.
So you know you don't see me sifting ingredients very often the only two times that I do it
are with cocoa powder and powdered sugar because they tend to have moisture in them and they
can kind of clump up a little bit and you want to get those lumps out of there.
So you have a smooth batter.
So now as seasoned bold bakers I know that you know to use a good quality unsweetened
cocoa powder and not hot chocolate powder.
I don't even have to say that you guys because I know you're already going to do it.
Okay, so those are our dry ingredients, just shimmy them over to the side.
I'm going to bring in my jug and we're going to mix together our wet ingredients.
And in my opinion, these are the ingredients that really make this muffin stand out.
So into my jug, I'm going to add in some milk, my flavorless oil, I use vegetable oil, you
can use canola, you can even use a coconut oil if you like something that has very mild
flavor.
I don't recommend olive oil just because it will kind of be overpowering and strong.
into this I'm going to crack in my egg.
Add in my yogurt.
Now here is my secret ingredient in this recipe yogurt is an acid and what happens when it
mixes with the flour is it tenderizes the flour and makes it really soft and it gives
you those lovely soft muffins that we all know and love.
And then last but not least, I'm going to add in my favorites, a little bit of vanilla
extract because you know how much I adore vanilla extract.
And then with a fork, just give that a mix together.
Okay, lovely, super simple.
I love how you can make this recipe by hand.
It's not a big fuss at all, and very little wash up also.
So I'm going to add my wet ingredients into my dry and then just mix them together lightly.
So one of the secrets about mixing things like muffin batter is you want to just lightly
mix it until it comes together because you want to keep it nice and soft and tender.
So this is almost there, I'm going to add in some chocolate chips, you can use semi
sweet chocolate chips, you can use milk chocolate, a little bit of milk chocolate, and then the
dark chocolate in the muffins will actually work really well together.
Always use please always use good quality chocolate, I beg of you, it makes all the
difference.
Look at that.
Oh my gosh, this looks gorgeous.
You already know this is going to be an awesome muffin because the batter just looks so inviting.
Okay, great.
That's our muffin batter.
Now let's get them into our molds.
So here I have a plate and some silicone molds.
Now I'm going to put a link on Bigger Bolder Baking.com along with the recipe of where
you can buy these on Amazon.
Really inexpensive, you're going to get a lot of use out of them.
I absolutely love them.
They're just like really flexible, they're easy to clean, and they just microwave really
well they also go in the oven, so that's a bonus.
Okay, so here's what we're gonna do this batter makes around 10 muffins, you can make more
if you fill up your molds a little bit less, we're only going to microwave five at a time.
Because we don't want to overcrowd our microwave, just fill up these little molds until they're
around three quarters of the way full because we want to have nice big muffins.
Like I said, if you have smaller muffins, then add a little bit less.
And then I'm just going to talk things with a few extra chocolate chips, just in case
we didn't get enough of the insight.
So the reason I have them out of place is just so I can easily get them in and out of
the microwave.
And I want you to follow me over there because I'm going to give you some simple instructions
and how you can make amazing chocolate chip muffins.
So now here's my secret.
I'm going to microwave these for 45 seconds first, and then we're going to check on them.
My microwave is 1200 watts.
So you need to check the wattage of your microwave because your timing may vary.
So 45 seconds, and we'll go from there.
So if you have a little look at these, they've risen, but they're still a little bit wet
on the top.
So we're going to put them back in for another 30 seconds.
So as you can see, they're a little bit more matte but there's still some spots on top.
I'm going to put these back in for around another 30 seconds or so.
Oh, lovely, this is looking great.
So what I do is I just rotate them around a little bit because you will see some wet
patches on the side of them often to just move them around and this helps them bake
evenly.
So I'm just gonna put these back in for around another 25 seconds or so and they should be
perfect.
So in less than two and a half minutes we have these crazy muffins from the microwave.
Do the rest of the batch and you can make them all in less than five minutes.
Now I like to enjoy these while they're still warm.
The best thing about the microwave is that it steams rather than dry bakes like the oven
so the ends up being really moist and just look at that.
Look at how melty that is and how soft that is.
Kevin, come on in my chief taste tester.
Gemma, I just left a few minutes ago this amazing.
Oh my gosh.
The one thing about these is that you have to be careful not to microwave them too much.
Or they end up a little bit dry as you just want to get them just right.
Gemma's super moist, awesome snack and just a few minutes.
That's incredible and amazing, right?
You take him goodbye.
And I'll tell them about all my other microwave recipes, microwave cakes, microwave pizza
of the savory whole cake in the microwave and now we have these muffins to add to the
list of chocolate everywhere.
So stay around and watch those videos.
Thanks for watching.
Well done Gemma.
Am I covered in chocolate.
Yeah, we both are.
Okay.
