Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 120 g
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar 8 g
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil 80 ml
  • 1 cup milk 250 ml
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 g
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 18 g
  • 2 tbsp milk 30 ml
  • 12 Kinder Schokobons

Method
 

  1. Whisk wet ingredients:

    Combine the egg, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, oil, and milk in a bowl, whisking until the mixture is smooth.

  2. Fold in dry ingredients:

    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt over the egg mixture, then fold gently to form a smooth batter.

  3. Divide and add cocoa:

    Split the batter equally into two bowls. To one portion, add the cocoa powder and 2 tbsp milk, stirring until fully incorporated.

  4. Fill liners with batters:

    Half-fill muffin liners with the light batter. Set one Kinder Schokobon in the center of each liner, then cover with the dark batter, filling the liners to about 3/4 full.

  5. Bake until golden:

    Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for roughly 20 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown and firm to the touch.

  6. Cool in pan then rack:

    Take the muffins out of the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for several minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool fully.

  7. Serve and enjoy:

    After cooling, take the muffins from the pan and serve. Relish the moist Donauwellen muffins with the melted Schokobon surprise inside.
