Chocolate, cinnamon, hazelnut…. With such a combination of ingredients, who is reluctant to try them? A friend passed me the recipe and after seeing the ingredients, I had no doubts; I bought the necessary ingredients and decided that the weekend was a good time to prepare them and treat myself to a sweet treat.
The recipe has no difficulty and yet these muffins turn out to be the most colorful. Part of the blame is its crunchy topping of hazelnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. A cover that adds texture and color to these ideal muffins to complete breakfast or surprise at snack.
- 170 g. all-purpose flour
- 170 g. white sugar
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 115 ml. + 2 tablespoons of hazelnut vegetable drink
- 115 ml. soft oil
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- We preheat the oven at 180ºC and we place 12 paper capsules in the holes of the metal mold.
- We prepare the cover, mixing all the ingredients and reserve.
- In a bowl we mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast, bicarbonate, cinnamon and salt.
- In another bowl, we beat the eggs and then we mix them with the hazelnut milk, the oil and the vanilla.
- We gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry one, mixing with a spatula until obtaining a homogeneous mass.
- We add the hazelnuts and the pieces of chocolate and mix.
- We fill the capsules of paper up to ¾ full with the dough.
- We put a little of the cover over each from them.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until when puncturing with a stick in the center, it comes out clean.
- Once done we place the muffins on a rack so that they finish cooling and serve.
