Marbled Chocolate Chip Muffins

High top marbled chocolate muffins! I find these rise better in my air fryer but works perfectly fine in an oven too. Enjoy!

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C if not using an air fryer (I’ve never preheated the air fryer for this recipe and they turned out fine!)

Step 2

Add all the dry ingredients (except the cocoa powder) to a large mixing bowl and whisk until there are no lumps.

Step 3

Add all of the wet ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and mix until just combined. Some lumps are fine, as long as there aren't lumps of flour.

Step 4

Add most of the chocolate chips (reserve around ¼ for sprinkling) and fold until just combined.

Step 5

Separate a 1/3 of the batter into another bowl and stir in cocoa powder until there are no big lumps but try not to over mix

Step 6

Alternate taking a spoon from the cocoa batter and original batter and putting it into muffin cases until the muffin case is nearly full.

Step 7

Once the case is full use a toothpick to swirl the batter around in the case to achieve that marbled effect!

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.

Step 9

Bake the muffins for 22-30 minutes (fan oven) 15-20 mins (air fryer) or until you can insert a toothpick in a muffin and it comes out mostly clean. Your toothpick should have some crumbs and melted chocolate on it but no wet batter. Don't overbake the muffins otherwise they'll be dry.
