what is the perfect muffin?
The perfect muffin has a thin brown crust, a slightly rounded top with a pebbled appearance and a moist, even interior. There should be no peaks, no tunnels which are usually caused by excessive mixing and too much liquid (muffin batter should not be fluid).

When I first made this recipe, i failed miserably. and sorry to break everyone's heart but it was nigella lawson's chocolate muffin recipe and the muffins came out kind of sad and depressed.
they tasted great but looked miserable! like a handsome sad man. almost like sad keanu (i said almost.).
so i searched for the perfect muffin recipe - baring in mind that the batter needed to be thick and and the end result needing to be crusty with a smooth and moist interior. I mixed and match, carefully making sure the flour and wet ingredients and none is up staging the other.
and i did it.
most beautiful batch of muffins:
Here's the Perfect Chocolate Muffin recipe - keep exactly to the measurements and you'll be surprised. oh, and no butter!
