Bakery-style Chocolate Chips Muffins

I chanced upon this picture of Bakery-style muffins and it reminds me of those muffins selling at Sin Ming market. Their muffins are nice, fluffy and light. I always buy a few home to go with coffee if i happen to eat at the market.

Seeing the recipe for the similar-looking muffins, I just have to try it. It will be very popular with the kids, as well as me and hubby for late night snacks. Haha~ (and I made them into small Cuppies)

I added dark and white chocolate chips, omit the nutmeg and cinnamon powder as I happen to ran out of it. I know definetely the taste will be inferior cos the use of the 2 spices will bring out the flavour of the muffins. But I just couldn't wait to try baking them. Shall do a trial run and attempt again. =)

Verdict: It's really very delicious and fluffy, definetely store-bought standard.. It's so simple to make and yet so yummy, a keeper recipe!!

On top of my muffin, I baked Flaxseed Raisin Loaf for tml's BF too. Using the same recipe, added 2Tbsp a flaxseed meals and raisin..
