Line a muffin tin with paper cases.

In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and the sugar.

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan, cool and add to the mixing bowl.

Beat in the milk.

Sieve the flour and the baking powder and gradually fold in to the mixture.

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and carefully stir in.

Chop the strawberries and add to the bowl gently stirring.

Spoon the mixture in to the paper cases, this recipe will make 12 large muffins or 18 small.

Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
