Chocolate Brownie Muffins Recipes

CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C
• Cut up the butter into chunks and add to a microwavable bowl, along with 280g cooking milk chocolate broken into chunks. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted.NOTE: with the butter mixed in it won't take long for this to fully melt - so make sure you keep an eye on it and don't over heat.
• Place melted chocolate to one side to cool slightly
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together 4 eggs and and 300g sugar. The mixing of sugar and eggs is known as a sabayon and a proper sabayon is achieved by whisking quickly and evenly until the mix turns pale and begins to ribbon with the movement of the whisk.
• Next pour the melted chocolate into the sabayon and stir in well.
• Sift in the flour and the cocoa powder and gently stir in with a spatula until fully combined.NOTE: the mixture will be very stiff and seem quite dry but keep stirring and the mixture will come together.
• Add the white chocolate chips and stir in well to distribute evenly.
• Place muffin cases into the muffin tin then spoon the brownie mix into the cases. Each case should be filled with around 1 heaped tablespoon of the mixture (case will be 3/4 full). Use a second spoon to scrap the mixture into the case. This recipe will be enough to fill around 16 muffin cases.
• Place muffins into the pre heated oven and cook for 25 minutes.TIP: cook for 20 minute if you would like the centre of your muffins to be slightly gooey.
• Remove from the oven and allow to completely cool.NOTE: Brownies will firm up as they cool - so don't worry if they seem a bit 'wobbly' when you pull them out of the oven.
• Place the mascarpone, double cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl and stir together until well combined and smooth. Taste and mix in icing sugar to your liking.
• Transfer the cream to a piping bag with nozzle and pipe onto the top of completely cooled brownies.NOTE: if brownies aren't completely cool the cream will melt and run off the muffins.
• Dust with cocoa powder and serve.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Lightly oil a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Cut white chocolate into 12 small cubes (don't worry if they break a bit). Finely chop semi-sweet chocolate.
• In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in buttermilk, butter, sugar and vanilla. Place flour in a very large bowl. Using a fork, stir in cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda, making sure no clumps of cocoa remain. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate. Pour in egg mixture and stir just until evenly mixed.
• Spoon 1 heaping tbsp (20 mL) into each muffin cup. Then place a cube of white chocolate into centre of each. Fill with batter to rims.
• Bake in centre of preheated oven until a cake tester inserted into centre of muffin comes out clean, except for any melted chocolate, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove pan to a wire rack. Cool 15 minutes, then turn out. Serve warm or cool completely on a wire rack.
• Once muffins are cooled down to room temperature, they will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days. Or place in an airtight plastic container and freeze. Or wrap separately in plastic wrap or waxed paper, then over-wrap with foil and freeze up to 1 month. Alternatively, place muffins in freezer just until firm, then pop into a large plastic bag. Seal and freeze. This will keep them from sticking together.
