Chocolate Stuffed Muffins | Double Chocolate Muffins (VIDEO)

Chocolate muffin lovers ?? How about having a melting chocolate to bite in the muffins ?? 

Am double excited and so are my kids !!

My kids are crazy about chocolates in any form, and so I didn't have to think twice before trying out this recipe. If you have kids who love chocolate muffins, then go ahead and make these. Am sure you'll thank me for this. 

These are simple muffins to make using very basic ingredients and as you all know, am always in look for simple but satisfying baking recipes. I have placed white chocolate pieces and milk chocolate pieces in these muffins, but you can always add alternatives like peanut butter, Nutella or almond spreads instead of chocolate pieces. Also, you may add chocolate chips too in the batter for the extra chocolaty flavour. Do give these a try and enjoy !!

Method

• Sift the dry ingredients- maida, cocoa, baking powder and salt twice. Keep aside.
• In another bowl, beat an egg with a whisk and add powdered sugar. Combine well. Add the vegetable oil, butter milk, vanilla essence and give a quick mix.
• Add the dry ingredients in three batches, little by little. Don't overmix.The batter shouldn't be very thick neither be very watery as it has to hold the chocolate pieces in place or else the chocolate pieces will sink down in the muffin.
• Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees F for 10 minutes. Line a muffin tray with liners.
• Scoop a tbsp of batter in the muffin liners. Then place a piece of white chocolate. Cover the top of the chocolate with remaining batter. Tap the tray at least 4-5 times to release air bubbles.
• Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check using a toothpick by inserting slightly off the centre, as the centre may be wet due to the melted chocolate.
• Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes and remove, cool on a wire rack and serve warm. Enjoy !!

NOTES

* You can use chocolate chips in the batter to make it more chocolaty.

* You can keep it at room temperature for 4-5 days if you have leftovers. Microwave 30 second before serving so that the chocolate is melted.

* You can add nutella or peanut butter instead of the chocolate pieces.
