Innkeeper Comments:

These muffins were created by Ginger for Kokoke Lani Bed and Breakfast Inn. They will make a hit for breakfast or afternoon snack! We get raves from our guests. Chocolate for breakfast? Of course!

Ingredients:

Please be sure to use only very high quality chocolate in these muffins…it makes a marked difference.

  • 3 squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 3/4 cup (scant) semi-sweet chocolate bits
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup unbleached flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon Kahlua liquor
  • 1/2 cup chopped macnuts, pecans or walnuts
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Set oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with papers or grease to prevent sticking.

Combine unsweetened chocolate, chocolate chips (3/4 cup) and butter in the top of a double boiler and melt, stirring occasionally. Remove and cool.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs and add sugar, vanilla and Kahlua. Continue beating until light. Beat in the chocolate mixture just until blended and stir in flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in nuts and remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into muffin tins to about 2/3 full.

Makes about nine good-sized muffins. Bake approximately 15 minutes or until top looks dry. Don’t over-bake. Cool in tins. The center of the muffins should be almost the consistency of mousse.
