From their simple version to sophisticated ones with elaborate fillings and glazes, muffins have become a beloved dessert worldwide.

Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 12 muffins Ingredients: - 200 g sour cream (12% fat) - 100 g coffee chocolate - 3 tablespoons cocoa powder - 250 g brown sugar - 150 ml milk (1.5% fat) - 3 eggs - 200 g butter (85% fat) - 300 g white wheat flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 packet vanilla sugar - 2 teaspoons candied lemon peel - A pinch of iodized salt For decoration: - 1 packet Dr. Oetker caramel glaze - approx. 100 ml raspberry jam - 1 packet red gelatin - Chocolate decorations (optional) Step by step: 1. Preparing the chocolate mixture: In a double boiler, add the sour cream, milk, chocolate, and cocoa powder. Place the pot over low heat and stir constantly until everything is homogeneous. This step is essential for achieving a rich chocolate muffin. 2. Adding the butter: Once the chocolate mixture is homogeneous, add the butter cut into cubes. Continue stirring off the heat until the butter completely melts. Make sure the mixture does not get hot, as we will add the eggs later. 3. Beating the eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the brown sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon peel until the mixture becomes fluffy and the sugar dissolves. This step will help the muffins to be airy and have a pleasant texture. 4. Combining the ingredients: Add the warm chocolate mixture over the eggs and mix well. Then, sift the flour together with the baking powder and gradually add them, stirring gently to avoid losing air in the mixture. You will obtain a fine and homogeneous batter. 5. Preparing the muffin tins: Line the muffin tins with special paper liners or, if you don’t have any, grease them with butter to prevent sticking. This detail is important to ensure easy removal of the muffins. 6. Baking: Pour the batter into the tins, filling them about 2/3 full. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the muffins for about 20 minutes. It is essential not to open the oven in the first 15 minutes to avoid affecting the rise of the muffins. 7. Cooling: After baking, let the muffins cool in the tins for 10 minutes before removing them. This will help them maintain their shape and not break. 8. Preparing the glaze: While the muffins are cooling, you can prepare the caramel glaze according to the instructions on the package. A delicious option is to use raspberry jam diluted with a little water, to which you add gelatin. Bring the mixture to a boil and pour it over the muffins for a spectacular effect. 9. Decorating: Once the muffins are completely cool, glaze them with caramel and decorate with chocolate ornaments or raspberry jelly for a contrast of colors and flavors. Useful tips: - Choose quality chocolate: Use chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% for a more intense flavor. - Experiment with flavors: You can add nuts, hazelnuts, or pieces of dried fruit to the batter for added texture. - Serving: These muffins are delicious warm, but also cold. You can serve them alongside a fragrant coffee or a fruit tea. Calories and nutritional benefits: Each muffin contains approximately 250-300 kcal, depending on the ingredients used. These muffins are rich in antioxidants due to the chocolate and contain healthy fats from the butter. The raspberry added at the end provides essential vitamins, such as vitamin C, and fiber. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of chocolate? Of course! You can experiment with white chocolate or milk chocolate, but make sure to adjust the amount of sugar. - What can I do if I don’t have muffin tins? You can use a baking tray and form larger muffins, adjusting the baking time accordingly. - Can I freeze the muffins? Yes, the muffins can be frozen, but it is recommended to freeze them without glaze. The glaze can be added after thawing. These chocolate muffins a la RuxyRux are definitely a recipe that will bring joy to any home. Experiment with the ingredients and customize them to your taste! Enjoy!
