Ingredients
Show ingredients
- butter – 200 grams;
- extra large eggs – 3 pieces;
- cocoa – 3 tsp;
- granulated sugar (not refined) – half a cup;
- brown (or black) raisins – 30 grams;
- spices (vanillin, baking powder) – for aroma;
- flour – 300 grams;
- for decoration shredded coconut – 2 tbsp.
Preparation
- Before adding to the dough, we prepare our raisins. We pour boiling water over them and let them sit for a while. They should soften a little to make the muffins juicier.
- We need to melt the butter. Place it in a plate and put it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes. Microwaves vary, so it's better to watch this process to avoid any mishaps.
- In the melted butter, add 3 teaspoons of cocoa. Mix it all with a mixer or simply with a fork. You get a chocolate mixture.
- Take another container (a more spacious one), where our dough will be kneaded. Break the eggs directly into it.
- Whisk the eggs until thick. Then add the granulated sugar (300 grams). Mix thoroughly until you get a white uniform mass.
- Now combine the chocolate and egg mixtures. Mix with a mixer.
- To ensure our muffins have a more pleasant aroma, gently add ready-made vanilla sugar (vanillin) to the dough while stirring.
- Add a teaspoon of baking powder; this amount will be sufficient for our muffins to rise well.
- Add 300 grams of flour, mix everything with a mixer. If you are mixing the dough with a fork or whisk, it is better to sift the flour through a sieve. If, however, you have a mixer, sifting is not necessary.
- Now it's time for the raisins. Drain the water from them, rinse again, and then add them to the prepared dough.
- Carefully pour the dough into flexible and soft silicone molds using a tablespoon, which do not need to be pre-greased with vegetable or butter because there is already a lot of butter in the dough. After baking, removing the muffins from the mold will be no trouble at all.
- Bake the dessert in the oven (at 180 degrees) for 20 minutes.
- To make the chocolate muffins with raisins look more appetizing, you can decorate them with colored shredded coconut on top.
