Sprinkled Chocolate Chunk Muffins

These Sprinkled Chocolate Chunk Muffins are so good you’d want to include these in your monthly bakes.

Sprinkled Chocolate Chunk Muffins

I’ve had this chocolate craving for some time now. Again, I know that the chocolate craving means fudgy brownies, but I didn’t want to make brownies. I love brownies A LOT, but I was not really in the mood to go through that process of melting chocolate. I know – LAZY!! This craving has to end though.

The idea of making chocolate muffins popped up. The taste, I am sure, would be perfect. You can’t go wrong with chocolate, yes?? But, I wanted something that will make the muffins look “happier” and that’s when adding sprinkles came to mind.

Surprisingly, the sprinkles didn’t just add “happy look” to the muffins, but also added some texture, like when you bite into it, you’ll get that little crunch from the sprinkles. I used this brand and I loved it!

Now, let’s go to the result.

The muffins tasted heavenly. They are moist, soft and very chocolatey. It is like you are eating a piece of cake with frosting, but there’s no frosting. Got what I mean?? These are exploding with dark chocolate – they are so melty they mimic the texture of a cake with that divine, silky, chocolate frosting.

Maybe the photos don’t say much, but trust me – they will answer that chocolate craving of yours that you are avoiding for some time now. 😉

Initial note: As mentioned below, this recipe makes about 6 muffins (depending on your batter). Please double the recipe to get more servings. 😉 As to the egg yolk, yes, I only used 1/2 from a large egg and added the rest to my scrambled egg. 😀

Before you go…

Are you a chocolate lover? I know you are. 😀 This Flourless Chocolate and Raspberry Torte will be your instant favorite. It has a rich chocolatey goodness and the raspberries really compliment the chocolate.

 

Thanks a bunch for spending your precious time with me!
