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.

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!
