Muffins are the handy little single-serve treat, perfect for the lunchbox or a quick breakfast. They’re soft, tender and crowned with a lovely high dome, and the melty chocolate chips make them seriously hard to resist. They come together in minutes and bake in under half an hour.

The secret to that high dome? A hot oven to start and a gentle hand with the batter. Don’t overmix or the muffins will turn dense, and fill the tins almost to the brim.
