Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

- [OPTIONAL] Pour the batter into a bowl and fold in your chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Pour the batter equally into the greased muffin tin.
- Place the tin into the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes (they will be a bit fudgy in the middle).

- Top as desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
