Gianduja muffin
Mescolare assieme farina, lievito, zucchero e nocciole tritate. Far sciogliere a bagnomaria (o nel microonde) il cioccolato con il burro tagliato a dadini, quindi mescolarlo velocemente alle uova e al latte. Unire ora gli ingredienti secchi a quelli liquidi, imburrare degli stampi per muffin (o usare i pirottini) e cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20 minuti.
If you like gianduja cream these are the perfect muffins for you. They're very perfumed and really really spongy even few days later (which doesn't happen all the time with muffins), they're definetly one of my best tries. Quick and easy to make, they're the right choice if you want to prepare something sweet even during the week.
Makes 12
Ingredients: 200gr (7oz - 0.875cup) flour - 150gr (5.2oz) sugar - 2 eggs - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) butter - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) dark chocolate - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) ground hazelnuts - 1½tsp baking powder - 90ml (1.1cup) milk
Mix together flour, baking powder and hazelnuts. Place chocolate and diced butter in a large, heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and allow the chocolate to melt (or you can use microwave). When done, whisk it with eggs and milk then mix together with dry ingredients. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins. Bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 20 minutes.

Muffin di zucca speziati
Pulire la zucca e cuocerla a vapore (o al forno se preferite). Ridurla in crema schiacciandola con una forchetta. Mescolare assieme in una ciotola farina, lievito, zucchero, cannella e noce moscata. In un altra sbattere velocemente il burro ammorbidito con le uova, la zucca e aggiungere per ultimo il latte. Mescolare assieme ingredienti secchi e liquidi con un cucchiaio. Riempire con il composto uno stampo per muffin imburrato e cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20 minuti.

Here I am, just in time to publish a Halloween recipe. Last year I made cupcakes, this time I didn't work too hard and baked muffins, again. I used pumpkin though, key ingredient, which makes cakes incredibly spongy and, of course, it colours them yellow. These muffins are quite spicy and not very sweet, so if you like to "feel" sugar, add some more.
Steam pumpkin, then smash it with a fork. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs, then add pumpkin and finally milk. Mix together dry and liquid ingredients, then spoon poon the mixture into a greased muffin tin (or with paper cups) and bake at 180° C (350F - gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes.

Mini-muffin con asparagi e ricotta


Asparagus and ricotta mini-muffins
Asparagus season is almost finished here, but you're still in time to make these mini-muffins. Soft, delicate and tasty, perfect as an appetizer, but you can also have them as an all-in-one course with a mixed leaf salad.
Wash asparagus stalks in cold water, cook them in a steamer or in boiling water, then snap off the woody end and cut them in small pieces. Heat 1tbs butter in a frying pan and as soon it is frothy, add the cooked asparagus and toss to coat them in the butter. Add salt. In a bowl sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and grated parmesan. In another bowl mix ricotta with eggs, add melted butter and milk. Mix together with dry ingredients and finally add asparagus, nutmeg and pepper. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins. Bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 20 minutes.

Muffin con caffè e cioccolato

Nessun dolce pasquale quest'anno. Capitano anche a me quei periodi in cui non ho voglia di spadellare o di fare dei dolci nuovi, in più quest'anno, per vari motivi, non ne ho avuto proprio il tempo. Ed è in questi momenti che i cari vecchi muffin arrivano in aiuto, dato che in mezz'ora... zac! Il dolcino è pronto! Era tanto tempo poi che volevo provare a farli col caffè e le gocce di cioccolato, energetici ma poco dolci, mi sono piaciuti molto.
