I promise to put away the jumbo muffin pan and move on, but here’s one more really good variation on KA’s chocolate muffin.

Moving on to the third chocolate muffin – Diana’s Double Chocolate Muffins from Diana’s Desserts. As expected, these were kind of cupcake-like. They were sweeter and a bit richer than Nigella’s and could be eaten for both breakfast and dessert. They also rose very nicely and had a great texture. Diana’s muffins …
