When it’s Easter  all I can think of is Cadburys Creme eggs for my mum and hot cross buns for me.<\/p>\n

Every year as soon as the creme eggs are in the shops I buy a box for my mum, she absolutely loves them, whereas I do find them slightly sickly. I can cope with the mini eggs they’re a little tiny version of the mother eggs and more cope-able.<\/p>\n

My brother had this great idea to use the mini eggs in muffins! I was like what a great idea  (bit shocked he came out with it hehe) and as I haven’t made muffins for a while I thought why not? Then I thought hmmm…do I stuff a mini egg into each muffin mixture or do I break the mini eggs and add that into the muffin mix…then why not try both it’s about experimenting right???<\/p>\n

I used a muffin recipe I found and adjusted to add the creme eggs. I wanted to try these muffins and had a great opportunity. <\/p>\n

Well here are the results…<\/p>\n

These are the muffins stuffed with the creme egg.

These are the muffins with the creme eggs broken into the mixture.

I was a bit disappointed with the stuffed creme egg muffin, they don’t look appealing at all. I much prefer the broken creme eggs, they look more appealing and the mixture is disturbed through out.<\/p>\n

I think I need to experiment with the muffins a bit more…I thought I could use broken creme eggs and then top it off with a mini creme egg at the top. Instead of putting half the mixture then the creme egg then topping it off with the muffin mix again. <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/div>\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t
  1. 310g - plain flour<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  2. 150g - sugar (I used castor)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  3. a pinch of cinnamon<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  4. a pinch of salt<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  5. 15g - baking powder<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  6. 2 large - eggs<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  7. 5 tbsp - buttermilk<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  8. 70g - oil<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  9. 260g - greek yogurt<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  10. 100 grams dark chocolate - I used 12 mini eggs altogether<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  11. 1 vanilla bean - I used 11\/2 tsp good quality vanilla extract<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
    \t\t\t
    Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t
    1. 1. Preheat the oven to 220\u00b0C and line 12 muffin cases in a muffin tin.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. 2. In a large bowl all the dry ingredients and mix.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    3. 3. In another bowl add all the wet ingredients, the buttermilk*, eggs, oil, vanilla extract and greek yoghurt.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    4. 4. Add in all of the wet ones and mix with an electric wire whisk until combined and free of lumps. Don't over mix.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    5. 5. At this point I spooned half the mixture into a the case added a creme egg then adding the rest of the mixture until it was 3\/4 full. I did this until I had 6 muffins. Then I crushed the rest of the creme eggs and folded into the mixture and the spooned them into the cases until it was 3\/4 full.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    6. 6. Bake at 220\u00baC for the first 10 minutes and lower the temperature to 180\u00baC and bake for 6-8 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t
      Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. Buttermilk is really easy to make you don't need to buy it. In a bowl add the milk a couple of drops of milk let to stand for 5 mins and there you go buttermilk done!<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. Keep an eye on the muffins the recipe called for baking for another 10 mins but I took them out before then, all ovens vary so check on yours.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
