Check out these muffin variations too:
To prepare the chocolate muffins, start by pouring the creamed butter (i.e. very soft) and the sugar into the bowl of the planetary mixer. 1. Operate the whisk and let it mix for a few minutes, until it becomes a soft cream 2. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use an electric beater or a hand mixer. Then add the room temperature eggs and lightly beat a little at a time 3.
In this way the mixture will mix perfectly 4becoming a soft and homogeneous mass 5. In the meantime place a sieve in a container and pour in the flour and cocoa 6,
then the baking powder and the baking soda 7 and sieved. One spoonful at a time, add the powders 8 until they are completely absorbed 9.
At this point the dough will be very consistent so lighten it by adding the milk slowly, always at room temperature 10. Chop the chocolate with a knife, obtaining small pieces about 0.5 mm large 11 and add them to the mixture 12.
Mix thoroughly with a spatula to incorporate everything 13 and then transferred to a sac-à-few without a nozzle 14. Arrange the cups in a muffin pan and squeeze out about 100 grams of batter to make 12 cupcakes 15.
Bake in a preheated oven and in static mode at 180° for 28-30 minutes, doing the toothpick test to verify cooking 16 (for these muffins we do not recommend cooking in a convection oven as they would become too dry!). Once ready, take them out and let them cool 17 or if you really can’t resist, enjoy the still hot chocolate muffins 18.
