Step 1/7
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced). Use non-stick spray or butter to grease muffin tray (or use cupcake liners)
Step 2/7
- 230 g Self-raising flour
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Salt
Combine self-raising flour, cinnamon and salt in medium sized bowl
Step 3/7
- 115 g Salted butter
- 100 g Brown sugar
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar using electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy (around 2-3mins).
Step 4/7
- 2 eggs
- 120 g Plain yogurt/sour cream
- 2 tsp Vanilla essence
Add eggs, plain yogurt/sour cream, and vanilla essence. Mix on medium speed until combined.
Step 5/7
- 60 ml Expresso shot
- 210 g Dark choc melts/bits
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and fold until just combined. Add expresso and mix until it forms a thick, smooth mixture. Don’t over mix.
Step 6/7
Using a large spoon, share batter evenly between cases. Sprinkle brown sugar over muffins. Bake for 5 mins on 200°C (180°C fan forced) before reducing temperature to 180° (160°C). Bake for 15 - 17 more mins, or until golden brown. To determine if baked well: if you tap on the top of the muffins they should bounce back, and a skewer inserted in them should come out clean.
Step 7/7
Serve warm or room temp... best if they are fresh out of the oven! Optional: serve with salted caramel drizzled on top
