Chocolate Linzer Muffins

I was thinking of chocolate and raspberries, so I decided to make up this recipe. The original recipe calls the St Galler Kloster Muffins - they are a Swiss-ified (by adding chocolage) Linzer tart muffin.

 

Ingredients:

  • 150 gr butter, soft
  • 150 gr sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 100 gr flour
  • 50 gr cocoa powder
  • 10 gr baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (optionally drop this to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 200 gr ground nuts (I used almond flour)
  • ~ 4 ounces (110gr) semi-sweet chocolate chips
    (I plan to use 6 or 8 ounces next time, but that was all I had left)
  • 2 ounces raspberry jam (or so)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Line a 12 well muffin tin with paper muffin liners. Spray liners lightly with cooking spray.
    (With the addition of 100
  3. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  4. Whisk together the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to the mixer, beating all together until smooth.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and ground nuts.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet. You will end up with a thick fluffy batter.



  7. Fill the paper muffin liners with about half the batter.
  8.  Place one rounded large cookie scoop of batter in each well.
  9. Using a spoon or your fingers dipped in water, press a teaspoon-sized hole in each scoop of batter.
  10. Fill with a teaspoon of raspberry jam.



  11. Place a second cookie scoop of batter on top.
    (I spread tried to spread the top scoop out to the edges of the liner, but you might not need to.)



  12. Bake for about 20 minutes or until you can smell them and the tops look dry.
  13. Optionally sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.
 

Carole's Notes:

We liked them! You could definitely taste the cinnamon, and some of the bites had raspberry. The top had a nice thin crusty part.
