Ruby Chocolate Muffins

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and eggs until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the ruby chocolate syrup, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.

   Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

5. 5

   Melt the ruby chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 10-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.

   Tip: Allow the chocolate to cool slightly before folding it into the batter.

6. 6

   Fold the confectioners' sugar into the batter until just combined.

7. 7

   Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

8. 8

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

   Tip: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
