Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 130g sugar
- 240g all-purpose flour
- 5g baking powder
- 160ml milk
- 100ml vegetable oil
- Chocolate spread (enough for a teaspoon per muffin)
Method:
- Prepare the Muffin Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk and oil to the egg mixture, and mix well to combine everything evenly.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together and gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Add the Chocolate Swirl:
- Lightly heat the chocolate spread in the microwave to soften it, making it easier to swirl into the batter. This should take only a few seconds.
- Fill each muffin cup with the batter about halfway. Then, add a teaspoon of the softened chocolate spread to each.
- Use a fork to gently swirl the chocolate spread into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake the Muffins:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to remove from the tin.
Enjoy your freshly baked Chocolate Swirl Muffins as a delightful treat that combines the simplicity of a quick muffin recipe with the indulgence of rich, creamy chocolate. Perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
