Blackforest Muffin

Yoikes! It's been ages. Week after week, mum made cheese tarts, egg tarts, cupcakes and chocolate cakes but nothing new until...these blackforest muffins. Delish and garnished with chocolate sprinkles, chopped walnuts and a cheery ol' cherry.

Marble Cheese Muffin

This is one of my favourite muffins and it is mum's invention. It is actually a chocolate cheese variety but what is great about it is that it is layered and has a surprise middle. She starts out by putting a layer of chocolate mix at the bottom of the cups and a large dollop of soft chocolate. Then, she tops up with cheese cake filling and a squeeze of melted chocolate. She finishes with a little swirl to create the 'marbling' pattern.

You can almost see the steam coming out from the top where the cheese and chocolate split. Let your taste buds be attacked by a mix of flavours and textures - the savoury cheese, sweet chocolate, crumbly cake and warm melted chocolate.

Banana Chocolate Chip Walnut Muffin

This muffin loaded with goodies is one of mum's creations. She blends a special muffin batter using banana mash, chopped nuts and chocolate chips. 

After scooping the batter into little paper cups, she does another round of garnishing. More goodies are added on top to make the final product look, smell and taste goooood.
