Marble muffin recipe
Vanilla and chocolate muffins easy, fast and delicious.
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 260 g All-purpose wheat flour (1 ¾ Cup +2 Tbsp.)
- 1 ½ Tsp. Baking powder
- ½ Tsp. Salt
- ½ Tsp. Bicarb of soda
- 3 medium eggs
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla extract
- 200 g Sugar (1 Cup)
- 280 ml Buttermilk (or yogurt) (1 Cup + 2 Tbsp.)
- 140 ml Sunflower or corn oil (⅔ Cup)
- 20 g Unsweetened Cocoa powder (2 ½ Tbsp.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 210°C / 410°F.
- Prepare a 12 muffins pan with paper cups or grease it with cooking non-stick spray
- In a large bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder, salt and bicarbonate of soda. Mix briefly.
- In another container add the eggs, sugar, vanilla, buttermilk and oil, mix until everything is well integrated. (notes 1)
- Transfer the liquid ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix (or beat with a hand whisk) just until everything is moistened and lump-free. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter into two equal parts separated into two containers.
- On one of the bowls, sift the cocoa powder and mix until you obtain the chocolate batter.
- Now the vanilla and chocolate mixtures are transferred to the muffin tin, alternating both flavors to get the marble effect. Fill each muffin cup to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
- When you take them out of the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes in the mold and then unmold them on a wire rack.
- Let them cool completely and they are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Buttermilk can be substituted for plain yogurt or whole milk. In the text of the article I indicate more details.
