cinnamon muffins with filling

 

Ah I love when it is good weather.

I wake up early, I feel good and productive..

I woke up at 7 today but chose to lay a little bit longer in bed until I stood up and ate breakfast around 8am.

After that I immediately went to making my muffins!

I first wanted to bake cookies, then when looking for recipes I saw cookies with jam on it..and then I felt like baking something with filling and ended up with wanting to make muffins.

In the shop is a box of chocolate that I absolutely looove which has a variety of different flavours and I wanted to use them as filling.

Since I have a bunch of cinnamon, and vanilla extrakt etc. leftover from the cinnamon toast rolls I did last time I wanted to do something with it again.

Plus, I just love cinnamon.

However I did not find a recipe that was close enough to my idea that I felt comfortable altering it the way I needed it :/

On thursday it then hit me with the bright idea...and I am not gonna apologize I am really addicted to it: I used ChatGPT for it haha.

I let it write a recipe for me <3

Those are the chocolates with truffles!

here at the back you can see the different flavours.

from coffee to nougat, vanilla and black currant..

I think they can be combined well with a cinnamon taste.

Here is the bowl with the flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, cinnamon and brown  sugar.

I mixed the egg in the bowl a bit before adding milk, melted butter, vanilla extract from last time and yogurt.

the yogurt is optional, I heard it the first time to put it in for moisture and I wanted to try it out.

I then poured it into the other bowl bit by bit while gently stirring.

I tried pushing the spoon against the walls of the bowl while stirring to be able to spread the yogurt bits a bit better...hmm

I then started preheating the oven to 180°C and decided to cut the chocolates into 1/4ths..I thought they might melt better this way for a filling and ChatGPT suggested as well.

I used a soup spoon full of the dough first to cover the bottom before adding the chocolates.

I also made three seperate ones without because my sister-in-law is allergic to it.

I used the white here to make it visible which ones are without

I tried my best to make it as neat as possible xD

I used each a spoon more on the ones without filling and depending on which ones needed more cover.

I put them in for 20 minutes and they seemed done when putting a toothpick in but I decided to turn it off and leave it in for a couple minutes more before taking them out and letting it cool for approx. 10 minutes in the cool air.

I then placed them on this tray to let them cool off a bit longer.

I wasn't able to try them yet since we are waiting for the family to come home and eat lunch but when I was licking off the spoon it was sooo good!!

I am sooo excited <3

recipe:

250g flour

2 tea spoon of baking powder

1 tea spoon of cinnamon

a pinch of salt

100g brown sugar

1 egg

180ml milk

80g melted butter

1 tea spoon of vanilla extract

100g yogurt or cream (optional)

a box of chocolate of your choice.

I love these productive days lol.

I cleaned the kitchen and went upstairs to my apartment, where I also took the trash out, did some laundry and cleaned the floor etc.

now there is a bit of time left before I have to start preparing lunch..I might use it to calm down a bit and read something or continue crocheting my top..

yaa I might continue crochet.

I also looked into my mailbox and found the nail charms I ordered like two months ago for my valentine set lmao.

They look super cute although I was surprised they were only 3 pieces, because most sets have 5 or 10. I looked at the listing and it even states 3 pieces.

I swear, do I sleep currently while ordering?

they are gorgeous with the chains regardless.
