Packed with rich cocoa and filled with a gooey chocolate centre, these muffins are every chocolate lover’s dream. Whether you’re starting your day or enjoying an afternoon pick-me-up, each bite is pure indulgence. Perfectly fluffy on the outside and decadently chocolatey on the inside — these muffins are guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups plain flour
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (I used dark)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 jar Nutella (or any chocolate spread)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a cupcake/muffin tray with 12 cases.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Set aside.
- Whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cases, filling only half-way. Spoon 1 teaspoon of Nutella (or your chocolate spread) into the middle and cover with more batter.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick/skewer comes out clean. Be sure to do it off-centre to test if baked. Leave in the tray for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
