Ingredients
25g cacao powder
90g hot espresso or coffee
80g melted hot butter
60g plain yogurt or sour cream
80g milk
130g discard
180g sugar
2 eggs
20g vanilla extract
240g AP flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
8g salt
Approximately 1c chocolate chips
1c Nutella
Directions
Pre heat your oven to 350.
In a large bowl we're going to bloom the powders so add the black cocoa powder and cacao powder. If you don't have black cocoa powder you can use all cacao powder. Pour in the hot espresso/coffee and the melted butter. Mix until incorporated and let bloom for about 5-10 min.
Once that is finished blooming we can go ahead and add the rest of the wet ingredients. Eggs, vanilla, milk, discard, sugar and yogurt or sour cream. Mix until combined.
Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Now that the batter is finished I like to sprinkle the chocolate chips on top so when I scoop my muffins they're evenly distributed.
Place your liners in your muffin tin. I like to skip every other spot to allow my muffin tops to expand without becoming crowded.
Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill each liner right to the top.
Bake the muffins 15-20 min or until you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean. You may see some chocolate from the chocolate chips but you shouldn't see batter.
Remove the muffins from the oven once they're finished cooking and let them cool.
While the muffins are cooling fill a piping bag or a ziplock bag with Nutella.
Once the muffins are cool use a butter knife to "drill out" a hole in the center of the muffin and fill with Nutella.
I like to add a cute little chocolate skull to mine. I just melt some chocolate and fill these molds.
Enjoy!
