La vie est belle

Evening all! How did your day go?

I’ve been working almost the whole day on a project. Thought of giving up several times because I couldn’t get some stuffs to work. Finally, after much frustration and perseverance I managed to get what I wanted. However there’s still a lot more to be done.

To reward myself, I baked some whole wheat dark chocolate muffins :) I’ve never baked with whole wheat flour before today!

I used these chocolates for baking

Ingredients (makes 6 mini muffins)

• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbs cold butter (30 grams)
• 1 egg
• 1/2  cup buttermilk (or milk + vinegar)
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Method: Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt  in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Whisk egg, milk and vanilla together in another bowl until well blended. Add egg mixture to flour. Stir until just moistened. Gently stir in the dark chocolates. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25  minutes at 200 Celcius until skewer comes out clean from centre.

After

I got 6 mini muffins. Well I ate two and the husband ate one.  Looks like I am baking more tomorrow for the week :)

Will update again another day. Haven’t been taking a lot of pictures lately … Been busy after work and only had time to prepare quick simple stuffs.

Edit: Watching “The Hot Chicks” on Star Movie. It is one of my favourite movies of all times :) Very funny! And yes I’m a fan of chick flicks hehe.
