Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total time: 50-55 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients:

*For muffins:*
- 3 large eggs
- 120 g yogurt (preferably full-fat for a creamier texture)
- 90 ml oil (sunflower or olive oil, depending on preference)
- 150 g sugar (you can adjust the amount according to how sweet you like your muffins)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa (optional, for a contrasting flavor)
- 130-140 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon rum essence (or vanilla for a more classic taste)

*For pudding:*
- 1 packet vanilla pudding
- 450 ml milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar (you can replace it with brown sugar for a more intense flavor)
- 1 tablespoon butter (to add a touch of creaminess)
- Chocolate sprinkles for decoration (or any other preferred decoration)

Step by Step:

1. Preparing the muffins:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F). If using a muffin tin, make sure you have silicone or paper muffin liners on hand. These will make it easier to remove the muffins without damaging them.

2. Mixing the ingredients:
In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the ingredients until they become fluffy. It is important to add the sugar gradually to achieve an airy texture.

3. Incorporating the oil and yogurt:
Continue mixing on low speed, adding the oil in a thin stream, then the yogurt. These ingredients will provide moisture and a soft texture to your muffins.

4. Adding dry ingredients:
Sift the flour and cocoa together with the baking powder to avoid lumps. Gradually add them to the wet mixture, gently folding with a spatula or mixing on low speed. Finally, add the rum essence for a delicious aroma.

5. Filling the muffin cups:
Fill the muffin cups up to 3/4 full to allow the batter to rise. Place them in a pan and put them in the oven. Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test - it should come out clean!

6. Preparing the pudding:
In another bowl, mix the sugar, pudding powder, and a few tablespoons of milk, whisking well to avoid lumps. In a pot, bring the remaining milk to a boil, then pour in the pudding mixture. Stir constantly over low heat until the pudding thickens. Finally, add the butter and mix gently. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

7. Filling the muffins:
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, using a teaspoon, create a small indentation in the center of each muffin. Fill each hole with the vanilla pudding using a piping bag or a simple teaspoon. Decorating with chocolate sprinkles will add a touch of charm!

8. Serving:
These muffins are wonderful both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a cup of fragrant tea or coffee. Share them with friends and family and enjoy their reactions!

- Ingredients: Use quality ingredients, such as fresh eggs and natural vanilla. These will make a difference in the final taste.
