Double choc coconut spelt muffins

Need a little smackerel of something sweet? A weekday teatime treat? Well alright, here you are then. These super quick (and quite delicious!) muffins are the perfect answer. This recipe only makes 6, but if you want a full dozen just double up.
Ingredients
1 egg
Sugar equal in weight to the egg
Soft Butter, equal in weight to the sugar 
White Spelt flour, equal in weight to the butter
2 tablespoons of dessicated coconut
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
2 teaspoons of good quality cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
75g of chocolate, roughly chopped
A pinch of salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 175oC (fan). 
Weigh your egg. You'll need the same weight as the egg, of butter, sugar and flour. 
Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl with a wooden spoon, until well combined and pale. Add in the egg and beat. Add in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate and salt, and mix to combine. Divide between 6 muffin cases. Sprinkle over each batter filed case, some chocolate chunks and a couple grains of salt. Bake in a preheated oven for about 15 mins, or until the top is firm and springy and a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.  


Makes 6 muffins. Prep time 5 mins. Cooking time 15 mins.
