Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 360 degrees Fahrenheit (fan oven 160 degrees Celsius/ 320 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Dry ingredients: Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips.
  • Cream: In another bowl, beat the egg, sugar, and soft butter until creamy.
  • Wet ingredients: In a jug, whisk together Bailey's, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine: Alternating, fold the flour mixture and the liqueur mixture into the creamed egg and butter.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups; they should be about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  1. Use a digital kitchen scale to measure the ingredients; it guarantees for best results.
  2. I prefer to use cake flour (without raising agents); it makes the muffins lighter. Of course, all-purpose is fine as well, but cake flour is better.
  3. Either milk or bittersweet chocolate chips. Chopped chocolate can be used instead.
