There are countless recipes for muffins with chocolate inside - this is baking with chocolate chips, and with crushed pieces of tiles, and with liquid chocolate. And if you add cocoa to the dough, you get a real chocolate madness for the sweet tooth. The right to be called the birthplace of muffins is disputed by two countries - France and Germany. The French claim that muffins are theirs sweet bread(moufflet), and the Germans are sure that these products are nothing more than one of the varieties of old pastries (muffe).
Muffins according to classic recipes in silicone molds
Muffins can be called a "lazy cupcake", like charlotte - a "lazy biscuit". Muffins are baked in small molds (sometimes in disposable paper ones), traditionally part of the flour in muffins is replaced with starch (ideally corn) for greater friability. The proportions there are more free than in muffins, warm milk, syrup and other flavorings can be added to the dough. The order of kneading is also simpler: all liquid ingredients (butter, eggs, milk, syrup) are mixed together, all dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking powder) are mixed in a separate bowl, then everything is combined, but it is not necessary to beat the whole mass to a homogeneous structure - muffins are not capricious. They are baked at a temperature of 160–165 degrees for the same 20–25 minutes.
Muffins– this is just a field for culinary experiments. Instead of jam, you can fill them with “taffy” – boiled condensed milk, bananas, dates, pieces. Cooking chocolate muffins classic recipes, you can add almonds or other nuts, all kinds of spices, pieces of chocolate, cognac, liquor, rum to the dough. And every time you get a special taste!
Many people like to bake such cupcakes in disposable paper molds. Just remember that chocolate muffins according to this recipe in silicone molds must be invested, otherwise they will lose their shape. When serving, you can leave the paper on the table - it serves as a decoration for baking.
To decorate muffins, both powdered sugar and icing with various additives, and chocolate, and confiture (if your muffins – fruit).
Another find for lovers of delicious: salty muffins that can be stuffed with cheese, smoked meats (both meat and fish), mushrooms, cottage cheese with salt and herbs. Ukrainian-style muffins can be stuffed with salted lard or lard, and Russian-style muffins can be stuffed with red caviar. For savory muffins, dill cream (whisk dill with lemon juice and salt in a blender) or tartar sauce (for fish muffins) are suitable as icing.
You can also make a large family cupcake with filling (not liquid) according to the muffin recipe.
I would like to say separately about the use of soda as a baking powder. Quite often, we run the risk of getting not the most pleasant soda flavor in our pastries instead of the promised splendor. The popular idea - to quench soda with vinegar or kefir - is not so good, because the reaction with the release of gas occurs already in the process of quenching and this soda will not bring any more benefit to your dough. If you do not want to use dry baking powder, but you are more accustomed to working with soda, then mix it dry with a few grains citric acid and already add this mixture to the dough, then the reaction will occur already in it. But in general, for pancakes, for biscuits and muffins, baking powder is a completely unnecessary thing.

Amazing flavor, chocolatey delicate taste, soft tender pulp, melting in your mouth ... Muffins, how beautiful they are! Learn how to cook them right.
Recipe content:
A muffin is a small, round (sometimes oval) pastry, mostly sweet, similar to cupcakes. The size of a muffin usually fits in the palm of an adult. Separately, muffins stand out from cornmeal. The composition of the dessert may include all kinds of fillings, incl. blueberries, cinnamon, pumpkin, banana, nuts, chocolate chips, raspberry, peach, orange, carrot, strawberry, lemon, etc.
For a muffin chocolate color, and not the color of coffee with milk, a bar of dark bitter chocolate of at least 60% is added to the dough, which is heated in a water bath, and not cocoa powder. You can also break the chocolate into small pieces and throw it into the dough without additives - it will melt beautifully during baking. Cherries, especially those soaked in alcohol and nuts - walnuts, pecans, are perfectly combined with chocolate dough.
Varieties of muffins
There are 2 types of muffins: American and English. For the manufacture of American muffins, baking powder or soda is added to the dough, and for English ones they use yeast dough. The most popular are the first. Also today, special mixes for baking muffins have been developed, which improve the structure of the finished dessert, give a certain taste and saturate with aroma. And when adding additional components, such as candied fruits or nuts, the mixture helps to keep the desired shape of the delicacy without settling additional products to the bottom of the product.
Many mistakenly confuse muffins with cupcakes, believing that these are the same pastries. However, cupcakes were baked in ancient Rome, and muffins are a much later culinary invention. It's perfect different desserts despite the similarity in appearance. Muffins are always small, and muffins are large, can have a through hole resembling a ring, baked in rectangular or round shapes. If you compare the recipe for kneading dough, then the difference will be immediately noticeable. Cupcakes are a sweet biscuit, and muffins are similar to biscuit or yeast donuts with stuffing. The dough kneading technology also differs - muffins are low-calorie and lighter, although their weight is heavier, and muffins are baked with a lot of eggs, flour and sugar. And the main difference between muffins is dry and liquid products are mixed separately, while the liquid is poured into the dry mass, and not vice versa.
If many are familiar with baking cupcakes, then muffins seem unusual to many housewives and not everyone knows how to cook them. Although everything is not so difficult.
- The dough is kneaded by hand or with a mixer.
- All ingredients are kneaded, not whipped. Valid for piquancy, and even needed in the dough, lumps.
- The dough is kneaded for several minutes.
- More liquid is added to the dough (eggs, milk, kefir, yogurt) and less butter with sugar. Therefore, muffins are more dietary.
- If berries are added, then the frozen ones are not defrosted first, otherwise they will release the juice, from which the pastries will turn out wet.
- Muffins are always portioned pastries.
- The dessert is baked in small molds with ribbed edges, filled in 2/3 parts. They can be silicone, metal or paper.
- metal molds before baking, they are greased with oil and sprinkled with flour. In silicone molds, only the bottom is lubricated, then the dough will rise well and a beautiful round top will form. Paper - do not oil, because. they do not require any processing.
- Bake muffins for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 190 degrees.
- The product is not afraid of drafts and moving around the oven.
- The finished delicacy looks like mini-cupcakes with a dense crust, lumpy crumb and large air bubbles.
- Products are stored for no more than a day.

I found the recipe for these chocolate cupcakes when I suddenly ran out of kid-friendly food in the fridge, and the kids, of course, immediately demanded food. The dough was kneaded by the whole company. It took exactly five minutes. The result was almost completely eaten. In general, the next day I baked these again chocolate cupcakes. And now it is one of our most popular recipes. I even renamed them "baby cupcakes". The composition of the products, by the way, is not particularly harmful. Little sugar. Butter, too, as, indeed, flour. But there is healthy vegetable oil (you can safely take refined olive oil) and a lot of cocoa, in which there is some unimaginable amount of everything useful. It is especially pleasing that it contains a lot of potassium, which is extremely important for the good functioning of children's brains. Cupcakes are airy, non-greasy. And to reinforce chocolate flavor, I add a little cinnamon - for some reason it gives the muffins a taste of store-bought ones, from which children cannot be dragged away and which are of no one knows what they are made of. But, perhaps, cunning manufacturers add cinnamon to them. In general, I am writing a recipe for memory, so as not to rummage forever in a pile of files.
Ingredients:
- 50 g butter
- 100 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 art. tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 100 g flour
- 3 art. cocoa spoons
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Cooking method
I didn’t shoot step-by-step photos for the recipe, simply because there is absolutely nothing to shoot here. Everything is mixed with a fork and poured into molds. Just in case, for those who still want to have a certain sequence of actions before their eyes, I will write everything down step by step.
1. Butter must be removed in advance so that it becomes soft.
2. Put butter in a large bowl, add sugar and rub into a homogeneous mass.
3. Break three eggs and shake with a fork to make bubbles appear. At this stage, we sometimes use a mixer. Just because the kids love it. But without a mixer it is quite possible to do.
4. Add everything else: vegetable oil, cocoa, flour, baking powder, cinnamon. We mix.
5. We take molds. I have a silicone one with six cupcake holes. Pour so that the dough does not reach 2-3 mm to the edge of the form.
6. We put in an oven preheated to 150 degrees for 45 minutes.
7. If you have Silicone molds, then you can take out the cupcakes right hot. If the form is ordinary, then let them cool slightly so that they grab, otherwise it may turn out that half of the cupcakes will remain inside the form.
And one moment. From this dough, you can bake not only small chocolate muffins for children, but also a large muffin. It can be easily eaten and used for cake, as it is very soft, porous and great for soaking.
I hope you enjoy this one simple recipe. Enjoy your meal!

Chocolate muffins - general principles of preparation
Muffin dough is always prepared with eggs. Dairy products are also added to it. Usually it is sour cream, milk, kefir. Many recipes contain fats: butter, vegetable or margarine. Often they can be replaced with each other. The mixed mixture of these products is combined with dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, vanilla, baking powder.
