Ingredients:

1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup sour cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and brown sugar.
- Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
3. Handle the Chocolate:
- Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks. Set aside a small portion to sprinkle on top of the muffins if desired.

4. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and sour cream until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together. Be careful not to over-mix; mix just until combined.

6. Incorporate the Chocolate:
- Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces into the batter.
7. Fill the Muffin Tins:
- Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- If you set aside chocolate chunks earlier, sprinkle them on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
8. Bake the Muffins:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Cool the Muffins:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- Enjoy your caramel dessert muffins warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or simply on their own.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate: Opt for good-quality dark chocolate to enhance the overall taste of your muffins. It will make a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.

- Don't overmix the batter: Mixing the batter just until the ingredients are combined helps ensure that the muffins are tender and not too dense.

- Properly measure your ingredients: Accurate measurements, especially of flour and sugar, are crucial to achieving the right consistency and taste. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.

- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that the egg, milk, butter, and sour cream are at room temperature before mixing. This helps to achieve a smooth batter and even baking.

- Check for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done. Avoid over-baking to keep them moist.

Caramel dessert muffins are a fantastic way to end a meal or enjoy as a snack. The combination of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and sour cream creates a delightful texture and a rich flavor profile. With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you can whip up these delectable muffins and enjoy a homemade, sweet treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth.
