These Muffins always look amazing when they come out of the oven at school and I often end up coming home and making some for myself! Plus the recipe is super easy for children of any age! For an alternative, omit the chocolate chips and top the muffins with melted chocolate for something more sticky and comforting (Melt 200g of milk chocolate, wait for it to cool slightly before pouring a little on top of each muffin). Yum!
