Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 120 milliliters caramel sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped toasted hazelnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce over the top of each muffin and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it into the batter.
Step 9
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Optionally, drizzle extra caramel sauce on top of the cooled muffins before serving for added indulgence.
