Perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat, these muffins boast a rich, nutty flavor balanced by the deep taste of cocoa. Easy to prepare, these muffins are sure to impress and satisfy any sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
1/2 cup canola oil
120g
2 egg whites
63g
2 tbsp dark chocolate
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease them with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, dry cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly distributed.
3. Chop the Hazelnuts and Chocolate: Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and set aside. Finely chop the dark chocolate into small shards or chunks.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or a large measuring jug, whisk together the buttermilk, canola oil, and egg whites until well combined.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. The batter should be lumpy but all flour should be incorporated; avoid overmixing.
6. Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped hazelnuts and dark chocolate pieces into the mixture, being careful not to overmix.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious choc hazelnut muffins warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!

Tips:

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider roasting the hazelnuts before adding them to the batter.

- Be sure not to overmix the batter to ensure the muffins remain light and fluffy.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they are ready.

- Feel free to add some chocolate chips or a touch of hazelnut spread into the batter for even more chocolatey goodness.

Your Choc Hazelnut Muffins are ready to be enjoyed! Whether served warm or at room temperature, these muffins are sure to delight with their perfect blend of chocolate and hazelnut flavors. Share them with friends and family, or savor them all to yourself. Happy baking!
