Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C. Grease the muffin tin well.

  • Step 2

    Add the dry ingredients, including spices, to a large mixing bowl and whisk until incorporated. Stir in the eggs followed by the remaining wet ingredients until you have a nice batter, then fold in the chocolate chips.

  • Step 3

    Spoon the batter into the Ninja Foodi Zerostick 12 Cup Muffin Tin. The muffin indents should be filled until almost full.

  • Step 4

    Bake the muffins for 30-35 minutes. Cooking is complete when a cocktail stick comes out clean after being inserted into centre of one of the muffins.

  • Step 5

    Allow to cool in tin for 10 minutes. Then using a non stick palette knife, ease around the edges of muffins to help to remove from Ninja Foodi Zerostick 12 Cup Muffin Tin. Cool on a wire rack. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top for decoration if desired.
