Have been tinkering in the kitchen again. I was envisioning a rocky road inspired muffin and so i whipped up some chocolate muffins with a few additions and from what I'm told they're really yummy. Sitting here at the moment the recipe with a few tweaks will be perfect - as is would make a nice brownie mixture. I havent included nuts in this recipe.
Tweaked Rocky Road Muffins
60gms unsalted butter
2 cups of plain flour
1 egg
3/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup of white sugar
4 Tblspns of best cocoa you can find (im generous with my cocoa more is better than less in my book)
2 tspns baking powder
100gms dark chocolate bits
100gms white chocolate bits
handful of small marshmallows
cup of frozen raspberries
Cream sugar and butter. Add the egg and mix well. Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder. Add to egg/butter mixture, alternating with milk until all mixed well. Fold in the chocolate bits, marshmallows and raspberries. Spoon out into muffin cases - makes 10 - 12 muffins. Preheat oven to 190C cook for 20 mins or until risen.
Original recipe - tasted awesome but didnt rise that well (which might have been temp 180C and the baking soda) and may be more suited to a brownie:
1 cup of plain flour
1 tspn of baking powder
1 egg
1 tspn of baking soda
1/2 cup of milk
50gms of butter
1/2 cup of sugar
4 tblspns of cocoa
100gms of white chocolate
100gms of dark chocolate
handful of marshmallows
1/2 a cup of raspberries
Same directions as before. Baked for 30 mins at 180C.
Very moist recipe - yummy according to B - king of the sweet muffin.
I was thinking that a dark chocolate ganache and marshmallow topping might be nice - if you were going for a once in a while treat. No photos I forgot to take any, will next time.
