Chocolate Muffins with Candied Fruit

Chocolate muffins with candied fruit turn out fluffy and full of little air pockets thanks to double chocolate: cocoa in the batter plus a chocolate bar melted into hot milk. They come together very quickly and bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 °C. They just disappear off the plate, highly recommended.

Notes

Be sure to let the chocolate milk cool before combining it with the egg mixture. Mine were ready in exactly 20 minutes.

Tips

• The butter needs to be room temperature - only then will it cream properly with the sugar and honey.
• Let the chocolate milk cool before combining it with the butter and egg mixture, otherwise the egg will curdle.
• Add the candied fruit at the very end, once the flour is already folded in, so it distributes evenly through the batter.
• Check for doneness with a skewer: mine were ready in exactly 20 minutes, but go by your own oven.
