Hot Chocolate Muffins

Print This

Do you ever try a recipe and think you could make this better?  That is what happen to this one.  I love all things chocolate and hot chocolate is one of my favorite drinks.  To enjoy the taste in a muffin was something I had to give a try.

But the original recipe was lacking.  They turned out dry and just not chocolate enough.  So I played around with the recipe and came up with this great tasting alternative.  Perfect with a cup of hot chocolate, or if it is your love, a cup of coffee!

Hot Chocolate Muffins

• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 Tbsp. cocoa
• 4 Tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup mini marshmallows
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400 and prepare regular muffin cups by spraying with cooking spray.  Place milk, 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder and 4 Tbsp. sugar into a microwave safe dish.  Heat until it comes to a boil.  Whisk until completely combined, then allow to cool.

Place flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.  Mix in milk-cocoa mixture, egg, and oil.  Stir in 1/2 cup marshmallows and chocolate chips.  Pour into muffin cups.

Place remaining marshmallows on top of mixture in cups.  Bake for about 13 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.
