I got the recipe from the BBC good food website, here's the link in case you want a gander:
The recipe isn't the most the healthy in the world but I was feeling cold and weak so in went the sugar and oil!

Ingredients:
2 medium egg
125ml vegetable oil
250ml of semi skimmed milk
200g golden caster sugar400g of self raising flour
or the same amount of plain flour plus 3 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 scoop of Chocolate Muscle Mousse
Any extras you want to add, chocolate chips, dried fruit etc etc
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases.
In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min, I went cave man style and used a hand whisk.
Add the oil and milk and beat until just combined then add the sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
Sift in the flour and salt (and baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth, this is wear I added a scoop of Muscle Mousse, be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough.
Stir in the chocolate chips or dried fruit if using. As I was feeling indulgent I went for chocolate!
Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
If the trays will not fit on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of cooking. Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
