Key Ingredients for Chocolate Muffins:

• 250g of flour
• 1 natural yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 100g of butter, melted
• 100g of powdered sugar
• 100g of chocolate chips
• 12 teaspoons of chocolate spread
• 10cl of milk
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Spread: Start by filling the indentations of an ice cube mold with chocolate spread. Pop it into the freezer for at least one hour before you start baking.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures even baking.
3. Melt the Butter: Melt the butter in the microwave or in a bain-marie and let it cool down.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and powdered sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the warm melted butter and mix well.
5. Combine Yogurt and Milk: In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and milk together. Pour this mixture into the egg mixture, stirring as you go.
6. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mix, and stir vigorously. Then, fold in the chocolate chips and add the vanilla extract until fully combined.
7. Fill the Muffin Molds: Pour the batter into muffin molds, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Gently place a square of frozen chocolate spread in the center of each muffin.
8. Bake & Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before unmolding them.

What to Serve Chocolate Muffins With

Chocolate Muffins can be enjoyed on their own, but they pair beautifully with a variety of sides. For a delicious breakfast, serve with a side of fresh fruit or Greek yogurt topped with honey. If you’re enjoying them as a dessert, consider a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate the experience. Pair with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of milk, and you’re in for a delightful treat!

Top Tips for Perfecting Chocolate Muffins

To ensure you whip up the most scrumptious Chocolate Muffins, here are some handy tips:

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of yogurt, you can use sour cream instead for a slightly different flavor.
• Baking Powder: Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
• Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined to keep muffins light and fluffy!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (though I doubt they’ll last long!), store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about 2-3 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm they’re up in the microwave for about 20 seconds or pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes.

Now that you’ve discovered the magic of Chocolate Muffins, why not grab those ingredients and get baking? You, your family, and friends will be absolutely delighted! Happy baking!
