Double Chocolate Muffins

July 23, 2016 annabanana 4 Comments

It’s summer, I know. I should be craving salads, light lunches, ice cream and lemonade. Instead, I’m destroying high quantities of porridge, pasta and muffins! Jeeezz, what is wrong with me? Is there something wrong with me? For the time being, let’s just say there is nothing wrong, and it’s perfectly normal to bake double chocolate muffins in the summer heat (because believe it or not, UK is having summer weather for the next two weeks!).

 

Double Chocolate Muffins

 

I’ve been feeling really lazy lately. Like suuuuuper laaaazyyyy. So lazy, I didn’t write a post for a whole week for the first time in months! So lazy, I didn’t remove that chipped nail varnish for another 3 days after noticing it looks like it should be removed a week ago. So lazy, that I’ve asked my other half to change the channel on TV, despite the fact I’m holding the remote control in my hand. If there was an academy and awards ceremony, for who’s been the laziest person in the entire Universe over the last two weeks, I’m telling you, I will win first, second and third place. If I could be bothered to show up…

However, the one thing I can be bothered about, luckily, is food, and as said before, when cravings strike, they have to be satisfied. That plus I came across this awesome chocolate muffins recipeย ย by very talented lady, Michaela Hartwig on her beautiful blog, which you can check hereย . After seeing pictures of her chocolate muffins, I really have to make my own, so I came up with this vegan version.

Yummy Double Chocolate Muffins

 

They turned out to be ahhh-mayzing, so not to try them would be a crime. Super soft, and sooooooo chocolatey, you will not stop at one my friend, so be warned! 12 muffins disappeared quicker than anyone expected. After they were all gone, some of us have been found sniffing for crumbs, so if that is not a sign of a good muffin, I don’t know what is!

 

Double Chocolate Vegan Muffins

 

Summer or not, these babies will go nicely at any time of the year or week, or day… Add a glass of milk, or spread some peanut butter or cashew cream to mix things up, but they taste just as great on their own, and will send you to chocolatey heaven for a little while…

    You seem to always be posting beautiful things at lightning speed, I can fully understand why the laziness hit ! Breaks are good. Laziness is even good sometimes. And I love that you listed the ways–just put them out there and own it! ๐Ÿ™‚ But I don’t think there is a such thing as too lazy for muffin making. At least not in my world. Muffins are too good, they always find a way to motivate me. And double chocolate muffins sounds like very very strong motivation <3 Beautiful pics too!

      Haha! Natalie, You always know what to say! And you always make me laugh ? I’m slowly working on getting my act back together and trying to stop being lazy, but work is just killin me at the moment, all what I want to do after coming back home is to sit on a sofa and eat cake ? must stop…soon…? maybe if you move over here, we can motivate each other with muffins and cakes??? What do you say??? ? xxx

  • #Ad I've never been too keen on going out on Valentine's but this year, with @waitroseandpartners ยฃ20 dinner for two, I have even more reasons to stay in ๐Ÿ˜
There are meat, vegetarian and vegan options available, and you get to choose a starter (we went for mushroom arancini), a main (beetroot wellingtons), two sides (seasoned Charlotte potatoes and salad), dessert and bottle of wine or box of chocolates (wine for us ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿท). True feast for you and your love ๐Ÿ’•
How will you be spending #ValentinesDay?

  • #Ad Whoโ€™s getting excited for the upcoming Pancake Day? I know I am ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿฅž
This year, I will be treating myself and my family to these utterly delicious stacks filled with irresistible chocolate spreads and fresh berries. They were all gone in seconds, last time Iโ€™ve made them, which is always a good sign, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰
First one is filled with the Malteasers spread with crispy honeycombed pieces (Jonโ€™s favourite) and the second one is the Crispy M&M chocolate hazelnut flavoured spread with coloured crispy balls (my fav). Which one would you choose?

  • My day in a nutshell (so far): got woken up at 3 AM by wheelie bins and bottles happily dancing in the wind outside. Went to see the dentists for the third time this week. Came back, shoot a client campaign. Stubbed my toe. Tried to send the campaign to the client, discovered thereโ€™s no internet. Spent the last couple of hours plugging and unplugging the router only to discover the whole village has been cut off... and the day is not over yet! 
Thank eff itโ€™s almost Friday! ๐Ÿ˜†
Howโ€™s your day been? .
