Preparation time: 15 minutes

Total time: 40 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients:
- 150 g Bounty (chopped pieces or bars)
- 200 g flour
- 100 g cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 50 g shredded coconut
- 150 g butter (at room temperature)
- 150 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 4 eggs (separated into whites and yolks)

Making Bounty muffins begins with a note of anticipation, so let’s get started!

1. Preheat the oven: Start by heating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. This is the perfect temperature for fluffy and golden muffins. Don’t forget to prepare the muffin tins! Line them with baking paper for easy removal and to prevent sticking.

2. Mixing dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut. Mix well with a spatula or whisk to ensure the ingredients are homogeneous. The coconut will add an aromatic flavor and interesting texture to your muffins.

3. Creaming the butter: In another bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes creamy and light in color. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy texture in your muffins. Add the yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4. Whipping the egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step will help the muffins be light and fluffy. Make sure the bowl and mixer are completely dry, as any trace of fat will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.

5. Combining the ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter cream, gently mixing with a spatula. Then, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites using a folding motion to maintain the air in the mixture. This will make your muffins super fluffy.

6. Adding the Bounty: Now comes the delicious part! Add the pieces of Bounty to the batter and gently mix to distribute them evenly.

7. Pouring the batter into the tins: Use a spoon to fill the muffin tins with about a tablespoon of batter. Then, insert a piece of Bounty into each muffin and cover with half a tablespoon of batter. These chocolate pieces will melt during baking, adding a surprise filling to each muffin.

8. Baking: Place the muffins in the preheated oven and let them bake for 20-25 minutes. Check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of one; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready!

9. Cooling: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tins for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serving: These Bounty muffins are delicious both warm and at room temperature. You can serve them plain or decorate them with a drizzle of chocolate glaze or shredded coconut for an elegant and appetizing look.
