Ingredients:

1/2 cup hazelnuts
60g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 eggs
100g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with a little butter to prevent sticking.
2. Roast the Hazelnuts:
- Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they become fragrant and slightly golden brown. Let them cool, then roughly chop them.
3. Melt the Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, melt the butter and let it cool to room temperature.
4. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled, melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift in the self-raising flour and dry cocoa powder, then gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Incorporate the Liquids:
- Gradually add the milk into the batter, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
6. Add Hazelnuts and Chocolate:
- Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- Enjoy these delicious choc hazelnut muffins warm or at room temperature. They make an excellent breakfast treat, snack, or dessert.

Tips:

- Toast the hazelnuts before adding them to the batter to enhance their flavor.

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature to make it easier to cream with the sugar.

- Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.

There you have it – Choc Hazelnut Muffins that are both delicious and easy to make. Enjoy these muffins warm with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They'll surely become a favorite in your household!
