I love Muffins, they are so simple to make and very good. I often make them for snacks. For those of you with children, I think there’s no better snack for them at school. You can vary the flavours each time, chocolate, raspberries, nuts etc….
I found these muffins by chance while searching the net and came across the blog of la cuisine de Bernard.
I trust her recipes completely, so I didn’t hesitate to make them.
They’re super tasty, delicious, incredibly melt-in-the-mouth , and the milk chocolate softens the strength of the cocoa. If you like chocolate muffins this is the recipe for you. The muffins base is made with unsweetened cocoa, and pieces of milk chocolate are added to the batter.
I didn’t have any chunks, so I used a bar of Lindt milk chocolate which I cut into small pieces. You can use any milk chocolate you like. Next time I’ll make them with Valrhona Dulcey chocolate, which is just too good.
For cocoa, use se high-quality cocoa, such as Cacao Barry or Valrhona but you can also find Van Houten in supermarket which works well too.
