We'll show you how you can create delicious Harry Potter muffins from juicy chocolate muffins with the little golden snitch!
My kids have discovered Harry Potter - and I think it's great! Of course they wanted to be a character from the Harry Potter book for Carnival! And the Harry Potter party is already on the plan for the next birthday party! Of course we baked Harry Potter chocolate muffins for the class carnival party! If you also have a Harry fan at home, here is the recipe for our Harry Potter chocolate muffins:
Recipe for our juicy mini chocolate muffins
We used juicy mini chocolate muffins as the basis for our Harry Potter muffins. Of course, you can use your favorite muffin recipe (but let me tell you, this recipe is great!). If you're not a chocolate fan, I also like to share our recipe for Vanilla muffins or Apple muffins to you.

Baking accessories
Mini muffin tin, mini paper muffin cases, 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, disposable piping bag, baking paper, baking 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 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, baking cocoa, salt 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.

Conjure up the “Golden Snitch” for Harry Potter muffins
- To get a nice, shiny gold “snitch”, roll the chocolate balls in 2-3 teaspoons of gold powder and set them aside for a moment.
- Then melt the white chocolate or white candy melts in a water bath and place them melted in a disposable piping bag.
- Using the white chocolate from the piping bag, draw the snitch's feathers on baking paper (see picture). You can draw the feathers on the back of the baking paper with a pencil, this is a little help. Then place the golden chocolate ball in the middle of the pair of feathers and let the golden snitches dry.
Mini tip: You can also prepare the “snitches” a few days earlier.
Chocolate muffins become Harry Potter muffins
- First, let the dark chocolate melt in a water bath.
- Now you coat the muffins with the liquid chocolate and then place a “Golden Snitch” on each chocolate muffin.
- Finally, pump 1 splash of gold spray onto each muffin
...and the magical Harry Potter muffins are ready!
