These delicious muffins are perfect for any time of day. They freeze very well and are scrumptious re heated with butter or plain. They are very versatile and provide a tasty platform for creating many different variations of muffins by simply adding ingredients such as chocolate chunks, walnuts or blueberries to the mixture.

Breakfast Brownie

Start your morning in the sunshine, traveling fast, on an adventure, accompanied by a rich chocolate cherry brownie!
These delicious brownies are full of rich chocolate goo and perfectly placed cherries.

300g unsalted butter
300g dark chocolate (60% plus)
5 large eggs
450g granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
200g plain flour
250g cherries

It makes at least 28 brownies so I used two baking tins! Mix together butter, chocolate by melting. While that is on the stove beat together eggs, vanilla and sugar. Finally mix all the ingredients and cook for 25mins.
Make sure the texture on top is rustic and cracked before removing from the oven!

Health and Happiness

In some places these are called chunky monkeys(urban dictionary enlightened us to the truth of this term). I prefer to see them as great ways of saying thank you, or a quick chocolate fix!

200g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
125g sugar
125g butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon of milk
150g dark chocolate (50% plus)
50g White chocolate
2 tablespoons coco powder

Just mix it all together and bake for 15 mins!

Flourless but not French

Here is a delicious chocolate gateau, but if you look closely at the recipe we have replaced the flour for ground almonds. It gives the cake an incredible texture very much like a soft chocolate brownie.




We dusted it with the magic of a doily and icing sugar.

150g dark chocolate (50% solids or more)
75g golden caster sugar
150g unsalted butter
1 tablespoon of runny honey
4 large eggs separated
200g ground almonds
75ml milk

The trick with this cake is all in the whisking of the separated eggs!
