1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and line a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Mix the egg, melted butter and milk quickly into the dry ingredients with the blueberries and chocolate (don't overmix, it should be a bit lumpy). Divide between the cases and bake for 25 minutes until risen and golden and cooked through.

Know-how

Blueberries freeze well so keep a bag in the freezer for when they are out of season

  These seem to be a standard muffin mix and as such the quantity of baking powder given in the recipe seems very low, a more normal amount would be 2tsp to 150g of plain flour which is what I did and they rose fine. I used coconut instead of chocolate and they have turned out nicely.

  This was the first time that I'd made muffins, and with the addition of some extra baking powder these were fantastic! I've also tried this with raspberries and peach which was amazing (tip - dip the fruit in flour to absorb some of the mositure before adding to mix)

  my stepmum tried these and they turned out a bit stodgy, as "Smuffy" said. Then again that could be because our oven's on the blink, will probably try when i'm in uni with my own oven XD

  I have made these three times in the last three weeks. Once with half a tsp of baking powder (they didn't really rise - still tasted delicious though!), once with one tsp of baking powder (rose a little bit more) and now, tonight, with 2 tsps of baking powder (as recommended by Sally above) and they have risen beautifully - they look just like the muffins in the picture. I haven't tasted them yet, but I'm sure they'll be delicious as usual. I'll definitely be using 2 tsps of baking powder from now on, so thanks very much for that tip, Sally!

  Not very sweet at all - more like a dumpling or savoury scone. Might make this again, but will definitely add more sugar!

  I Just made these muffins with some of the updates mentioned below. For 12 muffins i doubled the ingredients and used 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder with 2 eggs. They came out really nice, risen well and light.

  Tried this recipe yesterday afternoon, to have as dessert, packed lunches and just anytime! Replaced with raspberries(dusted with little flour to absorb moisture) and doubled recipe to make 12, using 2 tsp Baking powder. Looked just like the photo, not bulging over the top of cases like my Choc Muffins do and were a hit after dinner. But the white choc seemed to melt into mixture and seem very stodgy today. I am wondering if they will be eaten or left in tin! On the other hand the Double Choc muffins(on GoodFood) are fantastic, my 14 yr old had 4 yesterday!
