Choc-marshmallow muffins | Fig and Cherry

Posted on September 11, 2011 by ChristieSweet Treats, Vegetarian





Q: What is better than a chocolate muffin?


A: A chocolate muffin with a marshmallow surprise in the centre.


I am only halfway through the eight muffin recipes I am creating for Vitasoy. So far there have been coffee, turkish delight and savoury fetta and olive and now a fun marshmallow surprise.



Make sure you push the marshmallows deep into the batter and then cover well with more batter or they will burst out the top while baking and#8211; see first pic above (they still taste great though).


I should also mention that the marshmallows donand#8217;t remain whole in the centre, they melt and turn all jammy and sticky. Itand#8217;s delicious!


These are probably a bit too sweet for kids lunch boxes, but would make a fantastic treat for the weekend or birthday party.


Happy baking and let me know how these turn out for you.

Choc-marshmallow muffins recipe


makes 12 small muffins


2 1/2 cups (350g) self raising flour
1/3 cup (30g) cocoa powder
1 cup (160g) white chocolate chips
3/4 cup (110g) dark brown sugar
1 cup (250ml) Vitasoy rice milk
125g butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 egg, lightly beaten
12 marshmallows


1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Grease a 12 hole muffin tin and add paper cases, if you like.


2. Put the flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.


3. Make a well in the centre and pour in the rice milk, butter and egg. Mix gently to combine, but donand#8217;t over mix or the muffins will turn out chewy.


4. Spoon a few tablespoons of mixture into each muffin hole then top with a marshmallow and press down slightly. Spoon the rest of the mixture over each one, making sure to cover the marshmallow completely.


5. Bake for 20-22 minutes on the middle shelf. Cool slightly on a wire rack but try to eat as soon as possible. They are best enjoyed warm so that the marshmallow is still gooey in the centre.
