Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 30-35 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of yogurt (about 140 g)
- 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1 cup of oil
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- 5 tablespoons of Finetti chocolate cream

Ingredient details:
Yogurt is the secret to fluffy and moist muffins. You can use natural yogurt or Greek yogurt, depending on your preference. Finetti, the chocolate cream, adds a delicious taste and creamy texture, but you can also experiment with other types of chocolate creams. Using white sugar is ideal for achieving balanced sweetness, but you can replace some of it with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.

Preparation technique:
1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. This is the ideal temperature for perfectly baked muffins with a slightly golden crust.
2. In a large bowl, add the 3 eggs and sugar. Whisk well with a whisk or an electric mixer until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. This step is essential for incorporating air, which will contribute to the fluffy texture of the muffins.
3. Add the yogurt and continue mixing. The yogurt will add moisture and help the muffins rise.
4. Begin to add the oil in a thin stream, mixing constantly. The oil will make the muffins softer and contribute to a fine taste.
5. In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder. This step will aerate the flour and prevent lumps from forming in the batter.
6. Incorporate the flour mixture into the wet mixture, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to dense muffins.
7. Finally, add the 5 tablespoons of Finetti and homogenize the mixture. This will add a rich flavor and an appetizing appearance to your muffins.
8. Prepare the muffin tray by placing parchment paper in each compartment. Fill each mold with a tablespoon or a tablespoon and a half of the mixture, depending on the size of the tray.
9. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and pass the toothpick test (when the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done).
10. After removing them from the oven, let them cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

Serving and suggestions:
These muffins can be served plain, but you can dust them with a little powdered sugar for an elegant look. You can also pair them with natural yogurt or a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert. A coffee or flavored tea pairs perfectly with these delicious muffins.

Nutritional values:
This recipe is rich in carbohydrates and healthy fats due to the oil. The yogurt provides protein and calcium, while Finetti offers antioxidants from chocolate. In one muffin (about 100g), you can find around 350 calories. It is an indulgent dessert, but in moderation, it can be part of a balanced diet.

Possible variations:
- You can replace Finetti with other chocolate creams or peanut butter for a different flavor.
- Add nuts, almonds, or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.
- Experiment with flavors by adding vanilla essence or lemon zest for a fresh taste.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture of the muffins will be denser.

2. How can I keep the muffins fresh?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for a few days.

3. Can I freeze the muffins?
Yes, the muffins can be frozen. Make sure they are completely cooled before packing them in freezer bags.
