Happy Valentine's Day - Honey Love Muffin

What happens when you mix everything you love and bake it into a melting cup of delicacy? Well, that's love and the theme for my muffin recipe, fusion of food that I love to indulge in haha..
Honey is sweet just like love
Chocolate is delicate just like love and
You'll go nuts once you're in love..

Don't be left out if you're single out there, although valentine day is also known as S.A.D (single's awareness day). Valentine is not meant for lovers only, it is a day to celebrate love, be it your parents, your friends or whatever you love to do... You must learn to love yourself before you can love others. Here's to my love for baking, yummy...

150g plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda bicarbonate 
1 egg lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla essence
60g salted butter
100g wild honey
125ml low fat milk
50g semi-sweet chocolate chips
50g white chocolate chips
40g almond silvers (any nuts will do) 
40g Oreo crumbs (i just can't resist to add these)

METHOD
1. Melt the honey and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Let it cool down.
2. Add in the egg, milk and vanilla essence into the mixture and stir well.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, soda bicarbonate and cocoa powder.
