Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 190ºC Fan or 400ºF / 380ºF Fan.

Line a baking tray with muffin cases.

Start by sifting the flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder into a bowl.

Mix through the sugar and the chocolate chips. Put the bowl to the side.

In a clean bowl whisk the eggs and the oil together until the have combined well and are foamy. Gradually add the milk and vanilla.

Go back to the previous bowl with the dry ingredients and make a well in the middle. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently combine. Do not over mix as the mixture is meant to be lumpy.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases , i use an ice cream scoop. Only fill the cases three quarters of the way up the cases.

Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until the muffins have risen and are springy to the touch. Check they are cooked in the centre by inserting a cocktail stick and if it comes out dry they are cooked.

Place the muffins on a wire rack to cool.
