Lazy Sunday's in my Kitchen

Chocolate Honeycomb Muffins

I'm not usually a buyer of the Woman's Day Magazine, but last week, somehow it found itself in my hands and luckily it did, because YUM ... what a great treat to bake on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

This would make a great dessert, snack or delicious finger food.

Ingredients:
2 cups self-raising flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 x 50g Violet Crumble bars, chopped, reserve ½ cup for top.
100g dark chocolate, melted & cooled
2/3 cup buttermilk
125g butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten

Method:
Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C.
Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin pan.
Sift flour into a large bowl.
Stir in sugar, Violet Crumble and chocolate.
In a jug, whisk together buttermilk, butter and egg.
Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients. Add milk mixture all at once.
Mix lightly until just combined – do not over-mix.
Divide mixture among muffin pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked when tested with a skewer.
Transfer to a wire rack, sprinkle reserved Violet Crumble over muffins and allow to cool.

They say:
Don’t worry if you still have some small pockets of flour in the muffin mixture. This helps create the rough appearance of muffins.
