1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line twelve 1/3-cup capacity muffin pans with large paper cases. Sift flour and cocoa into a bowl. Add sugar and stir until well combined. Whisk butter, eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla in a large jug.
2. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold through chocolate bits (see tip). Spoon the mixture evenly into prepared paper cases.

Notes & tips

• These muffins are best eaten on the day they are made.
• Do not over beat the mixture or the muffins will be tough.
