Ingredients

For the muffins

  • 175 g Butter or baking spread
  • 175 g Caster sugar
  • 3 Eggs large
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 45 g Cocoa powder
  • 130 g Self raising flour
  • 90 g Dried strawberries
  • 65 g Chocolate chips

For decoration

  • 60 g Dark chocolate
  • 20 g Freeze dried strawberries optional

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C Fan/350F/Gas Mark 4 and line a cupcake tin with paper cases
  • Cut up the dried strawberries into smaller pieces and toss them in a little flour to coat them (this will help them stop sinking)
  • Mix together the caster sugar and butter until creamy and smooth
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk in
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder and self raising flour
  • Then gently fold in the dried strawberries and chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon
  • Divide the mixture between the muffin cases and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Put them on a cooling rack to cool completely
  • To decorate melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the muffins either using a fork or put it in a piping bag. Finally sprinkle on the freeze dried strawberry
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool place and eat within 3 days
