Mocha mayonnaise muffins recipe

0 ratings

This rich mocha muffin recipe has a secret ingredient - mayonnaise! Sounds unusual, but really works - the mayo can't be tasted in the muffins but keeps them super tender and stops them drying out. They're an easy baking idea when you need that sweet afternoon treat. See method

Method

Heat the oven to gas 4, 180˚C, fan 160˚C and line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases. Put the flour, cocoa powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk with a hand whisk until combined.
Whisk the eggs, coffee, vanilla, coffee extract and mayonnaise together in another medium mixing bowl until well combined, then whisk into the dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the chocolate, then pour into the muffin cases until they are about three-quarters full.
Bake for 22-24 mins until they spring back when touched and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (but beware of the melted chocolate chips). Allow to cool on a wire rack until completely cool before dusting with a little more cocoa powder.
