Chocolate muffins with honey
These delicious muffins, when cooked correctly, remain slightly runny on the inside. It is best to prepare them for your husband just before serving and serve hot.
You will need:
- 60 g of dark chocolate;
- 60 g of sugar;
- 2 eggs;
- 75 g butter;
- 25 g flour;
- 25 g of ground almonds;
- 1 tbsp. honey.
Creamy ice cream without additives works well with chocolate muffins.
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a steam bath or microwave. Mix flour, sugar and chopped almonds, add these ingredients to the chocolate. Pour melted butter and honey there. Break the eggs, separate the yolks from the whites, and put the whites with the rest of the ingredients and mix so that there are no lumps. Place the chocolate mass in greased baking tins. The dough should be no more than 2/3 of the pan for the muffins to rise. Preheat the oven and bake the dessert in it for 7-8 minutes. The muffins should be firm on top. Ready-made baked goods can be removed from the mold or served directly in it. You can also garnish the muffins with ground nuts, liquid chocolate, or whipped cream if you wish. It is best to serve this dessert with bergamot or mint tea.
