Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Muffins
For those of you who have never heard of Reese's peanut butter cups, they are a chocolate treat filled with peanut butter. If you've somehow never been lucky enough to try this combination then you should give it a go- the contrast of sweet chocolate paired with salty peanut butter is really a match made in heaven. We get the minis which are bite-sized and you can literally sit there and devour 10 without noticing (my husband has eaten a kilo and a half of them in just over a week- thanks to Costco bulk buying)
You will need... (12 muffins)
2 cups self raising flour
1/4 cup good-quality Dutch cocoa
3/4 cup of caster sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
180ml milk (about 3/4 cup)
12 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, taken out of their wrapping
Method...
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius, line a 12-hole muffin tray with patty pans, or grease with butter or non-stick spray
2. Sift the flour with the cocoa, then add all the ingredients together in one go (the beauty of muffins!), using a wooden spoon, mix until *just* combined- don't overwork!
3. Spoon enough filling into the muffin holes/patty pans just to fill 1/3 (half the mixture), place a peanut butter cup in the centre of each muffin and press lightly into the batter, then cover the chocolate with another spoonful of the mixture (patty pans should be 2/3 full to allow for rising).
4. Place tray in the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until set. Remove, place in a bowl and wrap with a tea towel while still warm, eat!
N.B Add some extra choc-chips for an extra chocolatey treat, I used dark, but you could use milk or white! Also, you can do this with cupcakes if you wish, you can use my Vanilla Cupcake Recipe, and follow the same process of placing one chocolate in the centre of each cupcake.
