There are days when I'm craving muffins more than cupcakes. Given its philosophical underpinings, a muffin is simple, bare, lacks pretense but is downright delicious to the very core. And chocolate doesn't need to be pretty to be delicious.

I love this recipe as it tastes more like chocolate cake than a muffin. It's a yummy way to get your chocolate fix.

Have a happy weekend!
