Gooey Chocolate Muffins
by Tarla Dalal
These Gooey Chocolate Muffins are more than what you would expect of a chocolate muffin... they are not only chocolaty but gooey too, oozing chocolate with every bite!
Eggless chocolate-flavoured muffins are stuffed with chocolate chips before baking. The heat melts the chocolate chips to fill the muffins with a chocolaty sauce, which escapes from the muffin to meet your taste buds when you bite into it. Just close your eyes and take in an experience that you can never forget.
These gooey muffins are an exciting after school treat for kids , just perfect for a Birthday Party or a High Tea Party , they make a delicious pudding when served with Ice-cream and are also a festive treat to give for Diwali and Christmas .

Thanks for the recipe. I have never baked and had to make some confectionery for my son''s class for an event. The recipe was simple and turned out perfect. My kids just loved it. For a first time baker recipe coming out so well is exciting. Personally I felt a little bitter taste of the chocolate but others couldn''t resist eating more
