Chocolate Walnut Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 Eggs
• 110 gms Plain Flour
• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
• 200 gms Castor Sugar
• ¼ tsp Almond Essence
• 140 gms Plain Chocolate
• 170 gms Unsalted Butter
• 115 gms Chopped Walnuts
• 55 gms Dark Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa powder

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180° C. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or use paper cases.
2. Melt the butter with the chocolate in the top of a double boiler or in a heat proof bowl set over a pan of hot water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Stir both the sugars into the chocolate mixture. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla and almond essences.
4. Sift over the flour and cocoa. Fold in and stir in the walnuts.
5. Fill the prepared cups almost to the top and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a skewer in the centre barely comes out clean.
6. Let it stand for 5 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
