Chocolate dulce de leche muffin

Ingredients

•   1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

•   2 teaspoons baking powder

•   1/2 teaspoon baking soda

•   2 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder

•   3/4 cup superfine sugar

•   3 oz of dulce de leche

•   3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling

•   1 cup milk

•   1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

•   1 egg

•   1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Special equipment: Muffin tin with paper muffin cases

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into a large bowl. Pour all the liquid ingredients into a measuring jug. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, remembering that a lumpy batter makes the best muffins. Spoon into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.
