Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins
Necessary ingredients:
- 230 g flour
- 150 g sugar
- 60 g butter
- 175 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 10 g baking powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional)
- 50 g dark chocolate
- Powdered sugar for decoration
- Vanilla or rum essence (to taste)
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the butter is at room temperature, so it will melt more easily. If you want a more intense flavor, choose high-quality dark chocolate.
2. Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). This step is essential for the muffins to rise evenly and become fluffy.
3. Mixing the egg with the sugar: In a large bowl, beat the egg together with the sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk. Mix until the mixture becomes creamy and slightly light in color, about 2-3 minutes. This process will help the muffins become airy.
4. Adding the butter and milk: Melt the butter (you can do this in the microwave or on the stove) and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the bowl with the egg and sugar, then pour in the milk. Mix well until smooth. If you're using vanilla or rum essence, now is the time to add it.
5. Incorporating the dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder. If you chose to add instant coffee, now is the time to incorporate it into the flour mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
6. Adding the chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and fold it into the muffin batter. These pieces will provide an explosion of chocolate in every bite.
7. Filling the muffin cups: Place the muffin cups on a baking tray. Fill each cup with batter, leaving a little space at the top to allow the muffins to rise. If you are using silicone molds, there is no need to grease them; for paper molds, ensure they are well positioned.
8. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes. To check if they are baked, you can use a toothpick – if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready!
9. Cooling and serving: After removing them from the oven, let the muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Serve them warm, dusted with powdered sugar and alongside a cup of tea or coffee.
Serving suggestion: These fluffy muffins can be accompanied by a spoonful of fruit jam or a serving of whipped cream for extra flavor.
Possible variations: You can experiment with different flavors by adding lemon or orange zest, or even nuts and dried fruits to the batter. Additionally, the muffins can also be made without chocolate, adding fresh fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a fresh dessert.
These fluffy muffins are not only easy to make but also versatile, making them perfect for any occasion. Try this simple and delicious recipe and enjoy a sweet moment with your loved ones!
