Chocolate Atomic Muffins

I’ve been looking for a good chocolate muffin recipe for a while now, because I’m always disappointed! I tried a bunch of them before I adjusted and came up with this one! I think they are well named after me! It is a real explosion of chocolate…! For the « atomic » shape, you have to know that I absolutely fantasize about the huge muffins you can find at « Starbucks », so I went to ask them what molds they were using…

…to make their huge muffins. So I literally went around the world to find them, because I couldn’t find them on the internet! These are « chicago metallic » molds, the « large crown muffin pan » model… Now you know everything! So I do as they do and I cheat (and I assume it!!) to make you these monstrously chocolatey muffins! It wasn’t easy to find a recipe that combined great taste with an almost insane rise in the oven! It’s done! This also works for the normal moulds, but don’t fill them halfway !!!! You must always fill the entire pan, which increases the cooking time…

Recipe for 6 atomic muffins or 12 regular ones:

Add flour and mix again.

Add milk chocolate in pieces (you can cut milk lindt in pieces!).

Finally add the yeast and bicarbonate to the dough and mix well.

Put the papers in the holes provided. For the « chicago metallic » mold, I lightly grease the inside edge with a paper towel soaked in mold release spray.

Pour batter almost to the edge of the pans (even for regular size muffins!).

Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove and unmold after 5 minutes.

Eat them when they are cooled!
