Naughty mini clown muffins

Chocolate muffins in a clown costume: our mini clown muffins are a sweet snack for your carnival party!

Celebrating carnival at school for the first time, it should be “very special carnival muffins”. Since we already baked delicious piñata muffins last year, we decided to "dress up" our muffins this year. This year our white chocolate muffins have dressed up as little clowns with colorful noses: cheeky mini clown muffins!

We used white chocolate muffins as the basis for our clown muffins. Of course you can also use your favorite muffin recipe. If you are not a chocolate fan, I can also recommend our recipes for Vanilla muffins or Apple muffins to you. Very delicious!

Baking accessories

Mini muffin tin*, Mini paper muffin cups*, mixing bowl, small bowl, hand mixer, kitchen scales, measuring cup, dough scraper, two teaspoons, cooling rack, cooking pot and melting bowl for melting the chocolate, pastry brush

Mini tip: You do not have a mini muffin tin? No problem, you can also use this recipe for the classic muffin tray with 12 muffins. In this case the recipe results 12 chocolate muffins.

Preparation

Bake white chocolate muffins

• Prepare the muffin tin and fill the paper muffin cups into the cavities provided.
• Add the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar to the mixing bowl and stir.
• Then stir in the eggs.
• If not using grated chocolate, chop the chocolate.
• Preheat oven to 175°C top/bottom heat.
• Mix flour and baking powder.
• The flour mixture is added alternately with the milk to the butter-sugar-egg mixture and mixed into a smooth dough.
• Now carefully stir in the chocolate shavings or chopped chocolate.
• Use the teaspoons to pour the dough into the molds. So that the molds are two thirds full.
• Then bake the mini chocolate muffins in the oven for 17-20 minutes (if you bake the large muffins, they need about 25 minutes in the oven). As always, I recommend the chopstick test to test the cooking.
• When the chocolate muffins are fully baked, they are removed from the muffin tin and placed on the cooling rack to cool.

Clown muffins are created

• First, the white chocolate is melted in a water bath.
• Now dip the surface of the muffins into the liquid chocolate. (If it's easier, you can also brush the muffins with a brush.)
• Now place a Smarti as a colorful clown nose in the middle of the muffin and sprinkle the top edge of the muffin with colorful sugar pearls.
• Once the white chocolate has dried, use sugar writing to trace the mouth and eyes onto the clown muffins. (If you use dark chocolate, it's best to let it melt in a water bath and then put it in a disposable piping bag. This makes it easier to draw the mouth and eyes.)

...and here are the cheeky clown muffins.
