Description

These indulgent muffins combine rich chocolate, tangy cream cheese, and gooey caramel in every bite. With a crunchy top and soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior, they’re the perfect treat for any chocolate lover!

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing the cavities.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth.
  • Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Slowly combine the wet ingredients with the dry, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Fold in Add-ins:
    Gently fold in chocolate chips and caramel sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  • Fill Muffin Tin:
    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For Extra Crunch: You can sprinkle some sugar or crushed nuts on top before baking for an added texture.
  • Caramel Sauce: Use homemade or store-bought caramel sauce, making sure it’s pourable for easy mixing.
