- 0:00Speaker 1: Yogurt and cocoa muffins are soft, light, and tender. They
- 0:04Speaker 1: stay moist thanks to yogurt and sunflower seed oil without
- 0:07Speaker 1: any butter. You prepare them quickly with simple ingredients, a whisk,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and a standard muffin tin. They are ideal for breakfast,
- 0:15Speaker 1: a snack, or to take with you during the day.
- 0:19Speaker 1: For about 12 muffins, you need preparation time, about 5 minutes,
- 0:24Speaker 1: cooking time, 20 to 25 minutes, difficulty, easy, Cost, low.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Ingredients for 12 muffins. 1 cup, that is 130 grams,
- 0:36Speaker 1: of type 00 flour. 0.8 cup, that is 100 grams,
- 0:42Speaker 1: of potato starch. 1 cup, that is 250 grams, of
- 0:46Speaker 1: natural plain yogurt. 6 1⁄2 tablespoons, that is 80 grams.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Of sugar. 6 tablespoons, that is 30 grams, of unsweetened
- 0:56Speaker 2: cocoa powder. 3 eggs. 3.5 oz of sunflower seed oil
- 1:03Speaker 2: 4 tsp of baking powder If you want a richer version,
- 1:10Speaker 2: you can also add about 3 oz of dark chocolate
- 1:13Speaker 2: chips to the batter or cover the cooled muffins with
- 1:15Speaker 2: a smooth white chocolate glaze. Start by taking a large bowl.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Pour in the 3 eggs and the sugar. Whisk until
- 1:23Speaker 2: the mixture becomes pale and frothy. While you keep whisking,
- 1:28Speaker 2: pour in the sunflower seed oil in a thin stream.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Add the natural plain yogurt. Continue whisking until the liquid
- 1:35Speaker 2: mixture looks smooth and well combined. In another container, place
- 1:40Speaker 2: the type 00 flour, the potato starch, the baking powder,
- 1:44Speaker 2: and the unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir these dry ingredients so
- 1:47Speaker 2: they mix evenly. Add the dry ingredients to the egg, sugar, oil,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and yogurt mixture. Do this gradually, whisking carefully. Keep mixing
- 1:58Speaker 2: until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter with no visible lumps.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Take a standard muffin tin with 12 holes. Line each
- 2:06Speaker 2: hole with a paper liner. Pour the batter into the liners,
- 2:10Speaker 2: leaving about one inch from the rim of each liner,
- 2:12Speaker 2: so the muffins have space to rise in the oven.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Heat a conventional oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit. When the
- 2:20Speaker 2: oven is hot, place the muffin tin on the middle rack.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Near the end of
- 2:28Speaker 2: the cooking time, check the doneness. Insert a toothpick into
- 2:32Speaker 2: the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out
- 2:35Speaker 2: dry or with just a few crumbs, the muffins are ready.
- 2:39Speaker 2: If it comes out with wet batter, leave the muffins
- 2:41Speaker 2: in the oven a little longer, then check again. When
- 2:45Speaker 2: the muffins are baked, remove the tin from the oven.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Let the muffins cool at room temperature before you serve them.
- 2:52Speaker 2: If you wish, at this point you can add the
- 2:54Speaker 2: white chocolate glaze on top or enjoy them plain. You
- 2:58Speaker 2: keep the yogurt and cocoa muffins for two to three
- 3:00Speaker 2: days at room temperature, covered with a glass dome or
- 3:03Speaker 2: another cover. You can also freeze them after you bake
- 3:06Speaker 2: and cool them completely. When needed, you thaw them and
- 3:10Speaker 2: warm them slightly in the oven before serving, so they
- 3:13Speaker 2: regain their softness.
