Double Chocmallow Muffins

It’s funny how recipes just ‘evolve’ due to lack of ingredients or ingredients going off. Such was the case when I was all set to use things up in my pantry for Rocky Road Cupcakes but wasn’t sure how long the peanuts had been there until I tasted one and yep, they’d gone off. I needed something for the lunch boxes that week so omitted the nuts and decided to do muffins instead and add cocoa, chocolate chips and marshmallows so the Double Chocmallow Muffins evolved.
This is just my basic muffin recipe which is so good and so easy. I can add any flavourings to them and they always turn out.
I don’t normally ice my muffins either but I had a bit of leftover chocolate icing in the freezer (I don’t throw anything out) so thought I’d finish these muffins off with a bit of extra sweetness. Just another version to mix things up a bit. 
What’s your favourite muffin flavour or more to the point, your kid’s favourite?

    Oh, yes! These look awesome. My favorite kind of muffin is chocolate chocolate chip. I'll have to double the chips in these. The addition of marshmallows is great! My girls love those muffins and blueberry muffins. When we dip the tops in butter and sugar they think it's pretty special. Pinned. Thanks, Anne!
