INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).  Grease 12 muffin cups or coat with
cooking spray. To make filling, beat cream cheese with a wooden spoon
in a small mixing bowl just until smooth. Beat in egg, sugar and
flour. When smooth, stir in chocolate chips. Set aside at room
temperature, while continuing with recipe.  To make batter, lightly
beat egg with a whisk in a medium-sized  mixing bowl until white and
yolk are just combined.  Stir in oil and  melted chocolate until
smooth.  Stir in water and vanilla.  Measure  flour, sugar, baking
powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing  bowl. Stir with a
fork until mixed, then make a well in centre.  Pour  in melted
chocolate mixture. Stir just until combined.  Do not  overbeat or
muffins will be tough.  Spoon enough batter into muffin cups to fill
them halfway.  Make a  small depression in batter and add a spoonful of
cream cheese filling  to centre of each.  Then, carefully spoon
remaining batter over  filling so filling is covered.  Bake in centre
of 350F (180C) oven  until edges become deep brown, and tops are set,
about 25 to 30  minutes.  These muffins do not become rounded in the
centre, but have  a flat top.  Remove muffins from oven and let stand
for 10 minutes.  Then, gently  loosen each muffin around edges with a
kitchen knife. Remove muffins  from tin and place on a cooling rack.
Serve warm or at room  temperature for best flavor. For longer storage,
refrigerate, or  preferably freeze.  Chatelaine tip: To easily melt
chocolate, cut into chunks and place  in a microwave-safe small bowl,
such as a custard cup. Microwave on  medium, until almost completely
melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir  until smooth.  Nutrients per
