Ingredients
- 2 cups White Wings Self Raising Flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup CSR Caster Sugar
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 200mL milk
- 100mL vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup pistachio spread
To decorate:
- Melted dark chocolate, for drizzling
- Melted Pistachio paste, for drizzling
- Extra crushed pistachios, for topping
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with patty cases.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, sugar and
milk and dark chocolate chips. - In a separate jug, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Whisk to
combine. - Add the wet ingredients to the dry, fold to combine. Spoon 1 tbsp worth
of batter into the prepared cases, ensuring to only fill to half. Spoon a
teaspoon of pistachio spread on top of the batter, followed by another two
tablespoons of chocolate batter. - Bake for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out without any wet
batter, some pistachio spread may stick to the skewer. Cool the muffins in
the tray before transferring to a wire rack to decorate. - Drizzle the muffin tops with the extra pistachio spread and melted dark
chocolate then sprinkle with the chopped pistachios.
