Equipment
- 12 Hole Muffin Tray
- Butter or Non-stick Cooking Spray to Grease Tray
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp (24g) cocoa
- 1 ⅔ cup (200g) plain flour
- ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp (80g) caster sugar
- 1 tsp (6g) salt
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 2 eggs room temperature, approx 110g
- ½ cup (116g) melted butter
- 1 tsp (6ml) vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (220ml) warm milk
- ⅓ cup (100g) dulce de leche + extra to serve if desired
- ⅓ cup (50g) milk chocolate roughly chopped into chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to Bake 170°C and grease a muffin tray with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Sift the cocoa, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl. Then whisk together to combine.
- In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, butter, vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
- Create a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the milk mixture. Using a whisk slowly incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients until just combined into a smooth batter.
- Spoon half of the batter into the prepared muffin tray, followed by a few small dollops of dulce de leche for each muffin. Top with the remaining batter and then the milk chocolate.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when touched in the centre.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tray before eating or alternatively leave to cool completely on a cooling rack.
Notes
TIP: Use a knife or spatula to gently release the muffins from the muffin tray.
These muffins are best eaten fresh out of the oven! Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge. Then just before eating pop in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm and melt the chocolate and dulce de leche.
Serve these muffins with extra dulce de leche to make them especially luxurious!
