Chocolate Brandy Muffins

An alcoholic muffin which has the nice aroma of brandy and strong chocolaty flavour.  Lovely muffin which is soft and moist.  
I can't remember where I saw the original recipe of this muffin.  Anyway, below are the ingredients and method to bake these muffins.
Ingredients

1 large egg
75 gm melted butter
125 ml milk
2 tbsp brandy
160 gm plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp cocoa powder
75 gm castor sugar
50 gm chocolate chips
  1. Preheat oven at 200 degrees C.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa powder in bowl.  Add in sugar and half of the chocolate chips.
  3. Whisk egg with melted butter until creamy.  Drizzle in milk and stir in brandy.
  4. Add flour into egg mixture.  Mix lightly until just combined [maximum 10 strokes].
  5. Spoon the mixture into prepared muffin cases.  Sprinkle top with balance chocolate chips.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes on middle rack.
  7. Remove  to cool on wire rack.
