This seems a long, complicated recipe, but it isn't once you read all of it. If you are a chocolate lover it's well worth a try:
Chocolate and Cream Cheese Filled Muffins
Ingredients for the muffins:
2 cups or 250g flour
3/4 cup or 170g granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup or 45g cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1/3 cup or 80ml canola oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the filling:
1 3/4 oz or 50g dark chocolate
2 1/2 oz or 72g cream cheese
pinch salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Topping – optional
1/2 cup milk chocolate M&Ms or chocolate chips
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
Measure your flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into large bowl and shift the cocoa into it. Mix well and set aside.
In smaller bowl, whisk your eggs, oil, milk, yogurt and vanilla.
Set it aside and get on with the filling.
Put the chocolate and cream cheese and the pinch of salt into a microwaveable bowl. Heat 20-30 seconds at a time on high, stirring in between, until they have melted and are completely combined. Add in the tablespoon of sugar and stir well.
Now back to the muffin batter. Pour your wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Divide half of your batter between the muffin cups.
Using a small spoon, divide the filling between the muffin cups, trying to place it in the center of the batter
Cover the filling with the balance of the batter. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with mini M&Ms, if using. Or you could use chocolate chips. Bake in your preheated over for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes then remove to rack to cool completely.
