Chocolate And Nutella Surprise Muffins Recipes

CHOCOLATE AND NUTELLA SURPRISE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Pe-heat oven to 200'C/400'F.
• Place caster sugar in a bowl and add all other dry ingredients which have been sifted together.
• Stir to mix well.
• In another bowl combine the egg, yoghurt, milk and vanilla.
• Pour into the midle of the dry ingredients and then add melted butter.
• Mix together gently.
• Place mixture into well greased muffin tins to come just over halfway up the tins.
• Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella into the middle of each (or place a square of chocolate in)and then cover with another spoonful of muffin mixture.
• Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until muffins are cooked and well risen.
• Remove from oven but leave in tins for 5 minutes before removing muffins from tin to cool on a rack.
• Sift over some icing sugar if desired -- this just gives a nice presentation.

NUTELLA STUFFED DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin cases, and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lighter in colour. Add the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients in thirds and fold in until just combined - do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips. The mixture will be thick and somewhat lumpy.
• Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cases, filling only half way. Spoon 1 teaspoon of Nutella into the centres, then top with the remaining batter.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted just off centre (to avoid Nutella) comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

HIDDEN SURPRISE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Grease the bottom ONLY of a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• In a second medium sized bowl, combine the egg, milk, vanilla and vegetable oil.
• Make a "well" in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the well.
• Stir until the mixture is moist.
• Don't overmix - the batter should be lumpy.
• Fill the muffin tins half full.
• Now, here is the surprise - drop a teaspoon of jelly into the center of each muffin.
• Add more batter on top of the jelly so that each cup is 2/3 full.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• When the muffins are baked there will be a jelly surprise in the middle.
