Straight out of the oven, these are my favourite! Gooey, melted chocolate inside a spongey and fluffy chocolate muffin, yum. The addition of hazelnuts creates a delicious crunchy top and balance between the rich chocolate

Adaptions

If you’re gluten free you can use gluten free flour

If you’re dairy free, use dairy free milk and cacao nibs instead of the chocolate chips

The rice malt syrup can be swapped for any other liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup

Meal Prep

These freeze really well, so you can make them in bulk for a quick and easy snack another day
