Yorkie® Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate lovers unite because this one is for you! Some days just call for a seriously good chocolate muffin, and this Yorkie® Double Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe ticks all the tasty boxes. Robust flavours of dark cocoa, chunky Yorkie® pieces, and a moist, fudgy texture make every bite feel like a chocolatey dream. As impressive as these look, they couldn’t be easier to make. Like most muffin recipes, you simply mix your dry ingredients, whisk your wet ingredients, and fold the two together. Pop the mixture into a muffin tray and just 20 minutes later, you’ll be pulling warm, chocolatey Yorkie® muffins out of the oven!
Smarties® Chocolate and Banana Muffins
Chocolate and banana is a classic combination, and the two come together beautifully in our Smarties® Chocolate and Banana Muffins. They’re rich and fluffy, with a deep taste of cocoa complemented by a tropical kick of banana. Each muffin is drizzled with a cocoa glaze and finished with three colourful Smarties® for a chocolate crunch. This muffin recipe is easy to knock up and fits into any colourful occasion, like a bake sale or a kid's party. You could also match the Smarties® to your football team’s colours and serve them on match day!
Smarties® Reindeer Muffins
It doesn’t get more festive than our Smarties® Reindeer Muffin recipe! These jolly fellows are a rich blend of wholemeal flour and cocoa powder for a deep and nutty flavour experience. A few dots of melted Milkybar® provide the glue, and our friendly reindeer faces are made of Smarties®, edible eyes and crunchy pretzels for horns. It’s a brilliant chocolate muffin recipe to get the kids involved, and they’ll have a blast bringing the reindeer faces to life.
Milkybar® Cranberry and White Chocolate Muffins
Our Milkybar® and Cranberry White Chocolate Muffins combine the smooth and creamy taste of Milkybar® and the tangy bite of cranberries. This power flavour duo is folded into the mixture for taste and texture, and then each muffin is topped with a touch of buttery vanilla icing. The final flourish is another sprinkle of freeze-dried cranberries for colour and crunch. The result is a multilayered muffin that’s fluffy and chewy, with a rich yet tart explosion of flavour. Whether you make them for an afternoon treat, a thoughtful homemade gift, or just to have on hand for the week, you’ll never regret whipping up a batch!
Milkybar® Mini Muffins
Our Milkybar® Mini Muffins may be small, but they pack a creamy white chocolate punch! They’re great for sharing, whether it’s a special teatime with the kids or brunch with friends. The deliciously smooth and creamy taste of Milkybar® shines in every fluffy bite. They’re also super easy to make and kids will love getting involved. Let them bash up the chocolate while you handle the mixing, then take turns folding everything together. Pop the muffins in the oven, then watch them rise and get ready to enjoy a batch of homemade sweet treats.
Top Tip
- For the softest, fluffy muffins, the trick is to combine the mixture gently and just enough. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the wet and dry ingredients together until no dry flour remains. The more you mix it, the more gluten you will develop in the flour, which means tougher muffins. So be gentle!
- Another thing to remember is not to overbake your muffins. The longer they bake, the drier they will become. A skewer or cocktail stick into the centre should come out clean, but a few moist crumbs are also good.
Questions?
Store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them tender. You can also store them in the fridge, but the colder temperature will make the texture a little denser.
They’re both delicious, but cupcakes are lighter, sweeter, and more delicate. They are often topped with icing and decorations like sprinkles. Muffins are denser but fluffy and less sweet, making them more suitable for breakfast or a snack. Muffins also tend to have extras like fruit, nuts or seeds.
Sort of, but not quite! While muffins and cakes share similar ingredients, muffins have a denser, more bread-like texture. They’re often considered a hybrid between bread and cake.
Absolutely! Once cooled, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy, let them defrost at room temperature, then pop them in the microwave for a warm, freshly baked experience.
Yes, muffin batter can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Some bakers even swear that resting the batter overnight can improve texture. As it rests, the starches in the flour absorb the moisture, making for even fluffier muffins.
