Ingredients

Gather your ingredients and grab your wooden spoon! Here’s what you need to make these delightful muffins:

120g butter (softened)
300g flour (all-purpose works perfectly)
120g sugar (granulated sugar for sweetness)
1 pinch of salt (balances the flavors)
120 ml milk (full-fat milk for moist muffins)
1 pack of vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 pinch of baking powder (for fluffy muffins)
2 eggs (room temperature for the best results)
50g chocolate (break into small pieces or use chocolate chips)

This recipe makes around 12 muffins depending on the size of your muffin cups. Adjust quantities as needed to suit your family or gathering!

Step-by-Step Instructions: Preparation

1. Break the Chocolate into Pieces

Start by breaking the chocolate into smaller chunks. If you have a chocolate bar, chop it into bite-sized pieces. Alternatively, chocolate chips work wonderfully for this recipe and save you some time.

Chocolate adds the perfect indulgent surprise in each bite! If you prefer dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate, feel free to use your favorite variety

2. Mix Everything Together

Grab a large mixing bowl and your trusty wooden spoon. Add the softened butter to the bowl along with sugar, eggs, milk, flour, a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar, and baking powder. Stir everything well until the ingredients are fully combined, and the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Tip: If you’re in a rush, an electric hand mixer can speed things up and give you a creamier batter.
Consistency: The muffin batter should be thick but pourable. If it feels too dry, add a splash of milk; if too runny, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.

3. Fill the Muffin Cups

Once your batter is ready, line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to evenly divide the batter into the cups, filling each about ⅔ full. This gives the muffins enough space to rise beautifully

4. Add the Chocolate Pieces

Take your prepared chocolate pieces or chips and press them lightly into the muffin batter. You can add a few on top for a gorgeous, bakery-style look. This step ensures each muffin has a rich chocolatey bite, making them irresistible!

Optional Toppings: If you want to add extra flair, sprinkle the tops with a little sugar or even some chopped nuts.

5. Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the muffin tin on the middle rack and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.

How to Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs), your muffins are done!
Golden and Fluffy: The tops should be golden brown, and the muffins should feel springy to the touch.
