Chocolate Baileys muffins

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup Baileys
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step-by-step preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
5. Add the vanilla extract and beat again until combined.
6. Add the flour mixture alternately with the Baileys, starting and ending with the flour.
7. Add the chocolate chips and fold in gently.
8. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
9. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
