Amazing yum muffins and kind of bento

I wasn't going to blog this because I didn't think these would be that great, but they were so yum that I've decided cupcakes are so 2009 and muffins are the new cupcakes (plus they take so much less time).

Tonight I made orange chocolate chip muffins.  I used this recipe but changed it slightly.  I didn't add the poppy seeds and I used plain flour with two and a half teaspoons of baking powder instead of the self raising flour.  The recipe is for two and a half cups of flour so I used 1 3/4 of white and 3/4 of wholemeal flour.  I used probably just over half a big packet of Whittaker's orange chocolate and chopped it up and added it in too.  I didn't dust with icing sugar.

Just out of the oven finished product!

This is how many the recipe made.

 

Not quite a bento, but this is as close as I have gotten lately - Andrew's lunch - left overs from dinner and gyoza with gyoza no tare in the little bottle (yay Y100 shop!).  I put an elephant pick in his yoghurt and strawberries but then thought better and took it out...
