Ingredients (for\u00a014 small muffins or 8 big ones)<\/p>\n

340gr\u00a0wheat flour
\n4 full tablespoons of cacao powder\u00a0(Nesquik, Colacao or similar)
\n135gr brown\u00a0sugar
\n80gr grinded chocolate (I use with milk)
\n180gr chocolate cut into\u00a0medium-size\u00a0pieces (I use 120gr with milk and 60gr dark)
\n180ml whole milk
\n120gr butter (room temperature)
\n2 eggs
\n2 teaspoons of baking\u00a0powder
\n1 teaspoon of\u00a0baking soda
\n1 teaspoon lemon juice
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt (I use flower of salt)
\nMuffin papers\u00a0(tulip or standard) + rigid mould to keep shape<\/p>\n

Directions<\/p>\n

Chop chocolate into medium-size\u00a0pieces, like the ones in the photos (I use a very sharp knife that I have for these\u00a0situations) and keep it.<\/p>\n

Put water to boil in a pan, grinded chocolate in another bowl that fits into the pan, and put it inside to make bain-marie until chocolate is melted. Let it retrieve room temperature and mix it with butter.<\/p>\n

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cacao powder in a big bowl.<\/p>\n

Whisk eggs, add sugar and mix it until you have an homogeneous whitish batter. Add milk, lemon juice and the mix of chocolate-butter\u00a0and mix it until homogeneous.<\/p>\n

Add this liquid mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients\u00a0and mix well. Finally, add chocolate bits, keeping aside a tablespoon to spread it on top.<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180\u00baC. Put muffin papers (tulip or standard) into rigid moulds and fill them in with the mixture, aprox. 2\/3 of the capacity (leave space to that they grow :-).<\/p>\n

Sprinkle the chocolate bits you kept and bake them at 180\u00baC for aprox. 30 min (small papers) or 40-45 min (big papers).<\/p>\n

To be considered<\/p>\n

The color of the final result of the baked muffins depends on the amount of cacao powder that you add. If you want them darker, you can add 1 or 2 tablespoons more. If you prefer a whiter\u00a0result, do not add cacao powder. Everyone to his own taste… :-).<\/p>\n
