Double Chocolate Chip Muffins (Video Recipe)

They are a perfect “anytime” chocolatey snack. If you like moist and airy muffins than trick is to beat your sugar and butter till it turns out creamy, light and doubles in size. It is always best to use an electric hand mixer for the purpose. Because if you doing it manually chances are there that the batter might not be whisked up uniformly. Trick number two is not to beat the eggs for a very long time. And at last,  do not over mix the batter. Over whisking will incorporate more air than required in the muffin batter which will result in cracked and flat muffins. Enough of “muffin science” I have explained now it’s time for the recipe. But these little baking hacks have always helped me to bake a foolproof muffin/cake. And often as a novice baker we overlook these fine details of baking.
