Blessed is the day when I returned to my Muffin and cupcakes recipe book and had an oven to work with. I've just baked a batch of White Chocolate Maple Muffins for the weekend board game session I hold on our cottage. There's only 9, so that's enough for me, my brother and maybe my dad too.I made these a year ago and my brother loved them, so I guess he'll like them even today.
White chocolate is not chocolate, it's actually only fat with sugar, so that's why it's so good. Its very sweet taste complements the bitterness of the walnuts here and since you don't use that much sugar in the dough anyway, it makes a pleasantly sweet product in the end. And what's surprising, the recipe asks for only one egg!
White Chocolate Maple Muffins
for 9 muffins you will need:
- 300g plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking power
- 125g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 50ml maple syrup
- 250ml milk
- 50g butter, melted
- a pinch of salt
- 135g white chocolate
- 75g walnuts, roughly chopped
- Line 9 muffin baskets in a muffin tray. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
- Sift the flour and the baking powder in a bowl and add the sugar. Chop the chocolate and the nuts into rough bits.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, maple syrup, milk and melted butter. Then mix it into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack

would these be sutable to make for a school comp, cause they look yummyy
Sure but maybe you'd want to spice them up a bit for the competition. A pinch of nutmeg or ground allspice could add the extra touch. Haven't tried it myself though, so make a practice batch to see if it's any good :-)
