Ingredients:
- 250 ml buttermilk
- 150 g soft butter
- 2 eggs
- 80 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 300 g flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 12 pieces of Kinder Schokobons (chocolate candies)
- 2 bars of Kinder chocolate (100 g each), coarsely chopped
- White chocolate (for decorating)
Preparation:
Total Time: Approximately 35 minutes
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Bake Time: 20 minutes
1. Mix Wet Ingredients:
Start by placing the buttermilk, softened butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat everything together until smooth and creamy. The mixture should become fluffy and light in texture.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing continuously until everything is well incorporated and a smooth batter forms.
3. Add Chocolate:
Roughly chop the Kinder chocolate bars into small chunks. Gently fold the chopped chocolate and Kinder Schokobons into the batter. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want to keep some texture with the pieces of chocolate.
4. Prepare Muffin Tin:
Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Once you’ve filled all the cups, place one Kinder Schokobon in the center of each muffin. Then, cover the candies with the remaining batter, ensuring that they are well enclosed in the dough.
5. Bake the Muffins:
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) with fan or 180°C (350°F) for top/bottom heat. Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, the muffins are ready.
6. Decorate (Optional):
While the muffins are cooling, you can prepare a simple white chocolate drizzle for decoration. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, then drizzle it over the cooled muffins for a beautiful and delicious finish.
