Preparation time: 30 minutes

Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

* For the muffins:
- 5 farm-fresh eggs
- a pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons sparkling water
- 5 tablespoons oil
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 packet baking powder
- 2 packets Milka cappuccino from Jacobs
- 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour

* For the filling:
- 2 egg whites
- 2 packets vanilla sugar
- 270 g powdered sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 50 g powdered milk
- 50 g ground raw cashews
- 100 g hulled hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons semolina

* For the glaze:
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 3 tablespoons cream
- sugar sprinkles for decoration

Step by Step: Preparing the Muffins

*Step 1: Preparing the Filling*
1. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It’s important that the egg whites are at room temperature to achieve a firm foam.
2. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form a frothy mixture.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes stiff and glossy.
4. Gently fold in the hemp seeds, ground cashews, and semolina. Mix lightly using a spatula until well combined.
5. Set the filling aside and move on to preparing the muffins.

*Step 2: Preparing the Muffin Batter*
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, using the convection setting for even baking.
2. In another bowl, beat the yolks with sugar and cappuccino powder until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes light in color.
3. Drizzle in the oil while continuing to mix. Then, add the sparkling water and mix well.
4. Alternately fold in the egg white foam and sifted flour, mixing gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.

*Step 3: Assembling the Muffins*
1. Place muffin liners in the silicone molds (or in classic muffin tins if you don’t have silicone molds).
2. In each mold, put a tablespoon of muffin batter, followed by a teaspoon of the prepared filling, and cover with another tablespoon of batter.
3. Continue the process until all molds are filled.

*Step 4: Baking the Muffins*
1. Place the tray in the oven and bake the muffins for 35 minutes until they are golden and fluffy. Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
2. Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the muffins cool in the molds for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

*Step 5: Glazing*
1. For the glaze, melt the dark chocolate with the cream in a bowl over a double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth.
2. Glaze the muffins with the melted chocolate using a spoon or a pastry brush, then decorate them with colorful sprinkles. This detail will make the muffins look festive and appetizing.

Helpful Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a uniform batter.
- You can customize the filling according to your preferences; add nuts, dried fruits, or cream cheese for an interesting variation.
- If you don’t have oil, you can use melted butter, but be sure to let it cool before adding it to the mixture.
- These muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh.

Nutritional Benefits
These stuffed muffins are not only delicious but also provide a good source of nutrients. Hemp seeds are rich in protein and essential fatty acids, while cashews offer healthy fats and minerals. Additionally, using sparkling water makes the muffins lighter and fluffier.

Delicious Pairings
These stuffed muffins pair perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or a refreshing herbal tea. You can also serve the muffins alongside vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert or with mascarpone cream for an authentic treat.
