Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 cup | Granulated sugar |
| 1/4 cup | Cocoa powder |
| 1 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 1/4 cup | Butter |
| 28 | Mint candies |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by sifting together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, and butter. Beat the mixture thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just moistened. It’s essential not to overmix to maintain the muffins’ texture.
-
Fold in Mint Candies: Gently fold in the mint candies into the batter. The combination of chocolate and mint will add a burst of flavor to every bite.
-
Prepare Muffin Cups: Lightly grease 12 muffin cups or line them with cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Place approximately 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin cup, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the muffin tray in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are slightly firm to the touch.
-
Check for Doneness: Keep in mind that a toothpick test may not be entirely accurate due to the melted chocolate from the candies.
-
Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
