No refined sugar. Just real ingredients.

These soft, domed muffins are sweetened entirely by Honico Chocolate Spread & Beverage — no added sugar at all. The honey in the spread caramelises beautifully in the oven, creating a lightly glossy top and a moist, flavourful crumb. They are simple enough for a weekday morning and impressive enough to share.

Details

• Product: Honico Chocolate Spread & Beverage
• Makes: 10 muffins
• Time: 35 minutes
• Meal type: Baking / Snack

What you need

• 4 tbsp Honico Chocolate Spread & Beverage
• 1½ cups plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

How to make it

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Whisk the eggs, milk, coconut oil, vanilla and Honico Chocolate Spread & Beverage together until smooth.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a separate bowl.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients — stop as soon as it is just combined. Do not overmix or the muffins will be dense.
5. Divide the batter between the cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until risen and a skewer comes out clean.
7. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Drizzle warm Honico Chocolate Spread & Beverage over the tops while they are still warm.

Honico tip

Drizzle the spread over the muffins while they are still warm from the oven — it soaks in slightly at the edges and sets into a fragrant honey glaze as it cools. Simple and stunning.
