Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipes

HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper cup liners.
• Heat the oil for frying in a medium, deep skillet over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, toss the hazelnuts in 1 tablespoon flour to lightly coat. Spoon the hazelnuts into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown.
• In a medium bowl, mix the 2 cups flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, oat bran, hazelnut butter, and egg. Thoroughly mix in baking powder. Stir in the milk, and fold in the chocolate chips. Evenly pour into the lined muffin pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; line 15 muffin tins with paper liners. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix together flour, hazelnut meal, baking powder and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
• In a large bowl, using electric mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until well combines. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Alternatively beat in flour mixture and milk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of milk, beating until smooth.
• Scoop batter into prepared pans. Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and let completely cool off on racks.
• To make hazelnut meal: Place 1/2 cup of hazelnuts in a single layer on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in center of preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until slightly blistered. Wrap the nuts in a clean kitchen towel and let stand for 1 minute. Rub nuts in towel to remove loose skins (it's ok if you are unable to remove all the skin). Let cool completely before placing in a food processor with a metal blade. Grind the nuts finely, but be careful not to over process too much.
