CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or fit with paper liners.
• Place a medium heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add butter and half of the chocolate. Heat gently, stirring often, until chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring, allowing the residual heat to melt the chocolate the rest of the way. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• To the bowl with the cooled chocolate, whisk in the coffee, yogurt, egg, vanilla extract until smoothly combined. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, stir to combine. Stop as soon as the flour disappears.
• Stir in the remaining chopped chocolate. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.
• Bake the muffins for 16-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean without any wet batter clinging to it. Place the pan on a cooling rack and cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully unmold the muffins and transfer to the rack to finish cooling completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 180c (fan forced) and lightly grease a muffin tray.
• Place butter and sugar into a microwave safe container and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir throughout (but don't expect the sugar to dissolve, it won't).
• Meanwhile sift flour, baking powder and cocoa into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and vanilla.
• Pour in the butter mixture and gently mix with a whisk until well combined. Don't over mix. It will be ready it starts to come away from the sides of the bowl.
• Spoon the mixture into the muffin tray, filling to the top.

FUDGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170-190C (Fan ovens prefer the lower temp, normal ovens the higher one).
• Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and fudge chunks together and mix well (flour can be sieved before if preferred, I find mixing the dry ingredients well together gets rid of any lumps instead).
• Melt the butter and let it cool.
• Whisk together the milk, creme fraiche, vanilla essence and egg together. It should form a thick, creamy mixture.
• Add the cooled down, melted butter to the creamy mixture and whisk well.
• Add the flour mixture to the creamy mixture and stir well with a metal spoon.
• Split the mixture into 12 muffin cases and bake for 20 mins or until golden brown. Remove from oven and leave to cool.

MORNING GLORY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut, and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

SPIDER WEB CHOCOLATE FUDGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 170C/ conventional 190C/gas 5 and line a muffin tin with 10 paper muffin cases. Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl, add the butter and liquid. Melt in the microwave on Medium for 30-45 seconds (or set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water). Stir and leave the mixture to cool.
• Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and both sugars in a bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl and stir in the soured cream, then pour this on the flour mixture and add the cooled chocolate. Stir just to combine - don't overmix or it will get tough.
• Spoon the mixture into the cases to about three quarters full. Bake for 20 minutes until well risen. Loosen the edges with a round-bladed knife, let them sit in the tins for a few minutes, then lift out and cool on a wire rack.
• For the topping, make two piping bags out of greaseproof paper (or cut the ends off two clean plastic bags). Break the dark and white chocolate into separate bowls and melt in the microwave on Medium for 2 minutes (or over a pan as in step 1). Put 2 spoonfuls of dark chocolate in one bag and the same of white chocolate in the other.
• Working with one muffin at a time, spread with dark chocolate from the bowl, letting it run down a bit, then pipe four concentric circles of white chocolate on top. Using a small skewer, drag through the circles at regular intervals, from the centre to the edge, to create a cobweb effect. Repeat with four more muffins. On the remaining five, spread over the white chocolate and decorate with the dark. Best eaten the day they're made - even better while the chocolate's soft.
