Every time I have guests at short notice I bake muffins. It is one of the easiest pastries to prepare in a hurry, with a short baking time, and within less than an hour of work (including baking), you get a delicious treats everyone just love.

The following chocolate chip muffins combine chocolate, coffee and praline. You will need only one bowl and a whisk in order to prepare them, and it is just perfect for hosting. Note that if you want, you can make them nondairy as well and the result is great either way.
