Why you will love this recipe:

• Chocolate and more chocolate | These are a chocolate lovers dream! Every mouthful is packed full of rich chocolate with the subtle flavour of caramelised white chocolate which pairs so well.

• Perfect Muffin Top | The perfect muffin is one that is well risen with a distinctive muffin top hanging over the edge. As we rely on raising agents to give us this rise, there is a secret trick to ensuring you get that perfect top every time. Read more below.

• Easy and Delicious | Unlike cupcakes that depend on the creaming method to create air, muffins are made in fewer steps because they’re classed as a quick bread. This means that they rely on bicarbonate of soda and baking powder to get a good rise. Because of this there’s so much less work for the baker and most of the ingredients can just be thrown together quickly as the raising agents do all the hard work for you.

How to make these double chocolate caramilk muffins:

Firstly let’s take a look at what you will need to create these delicious muffins

Caster sugar | The caster sugar gives these the lovely sweetness, but if you want to add golden caster sugar instead you can as this would add a delicious butterscotch taste.

Large Egg | As with all bakes ensure your eggs are room temperature to ensure the don’t effect the over temperature of the batter.

Vanilla extract | Vanilla is a great partner to all bakes. Alone its a great flavour, but in a bake it works with all the other flavours and brings them alive!

Melted Butter | Lot of muffins including some of other recipes, have used oil, but this recipe uses butter which give the muffins a really delicious texture and a better depth of flavour.

Buttermilk | To get a good rise you’ll need buttermilk as the acidity works together with the raising agents to help the muffins rise. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can easily make your own using milk and vinegar or lemon juice. Measure out the quantity you need in milk and then stir in one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 10 minutes before using.

Sour Cream | Sour cream makes these muffins delicious, soft and moist without thinning the batter out.

Plain flour | Plain flour also gives the muffins their structure and keeps them super soft. If you’re wondering why we don’t use self-raising flour, it’s because it includes a raising agent which would make the muffins puff up more. The raising agents have that covered.

Cocoa Powder | Your first dose of chocolate for these muffins comes in the form of a deliciously rich cocoa powder.

Baking Powder/Bicarbonate Soda | These little agents are what gives these muffins life and help them grow. When mixed together with the butter, sour cream and buttermilk they come alive and give you perfect muffins.

Chocolate Chips | They wouldn’t be double chocolate muffins if we didn’t add chocolate chips too. I like to use chunky chocolate chips as they melt into the mixture as it bakes and give you burst of gooey chocolate in every bite.

Cadbury Caramilk | Caramilk is a caramelised golden white chocolate with a delicious caramel taste that pairs so well with the darker chocolate in these muffins.

Mix the dry ingredients together | In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate soda and baking powder together in a bowl followed by the sugar and half the chocolate chips.

Combine the egg and sour cream | In a separate bowl whisk together the egg and the sour cream until smooth.

Add the butter, vanilla and buttermilk | Add the butter, vanilla and buttermilk and mix again to combine well.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients | Make a well in the bowl of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold the two together until just combined then cover and leave the batter to rest for an hour.

Fill the muffin cases and add the Caramilk | Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to fill the muffin cases until almost full then top with the remaining chocolate chips followed by a chunk of caramilk into the centre and smaller chunks sprinkled on top

Bake | Bake the muffins on about 200C for 20 minutes until well risen and golden. Then remove and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve warm or cold either way they’re divine.
