White Chocolate Chip Muffins

A little background

This recipe originates from a classical Swedish book called Sju sorters kakor where the original name of the cake was Muffins med Frukt (Muffins with fruit) and actually contained raisins and candied orange skins. Unfortunately, this recipe has been removed from their latest edition, so this is for all of you that have been deprived by this wonderful recipe and purchased your book too late. Or even never have had the chanse to own one at all. 

The white chocolate chips will kind of disappear in the muffin, but the taste will be much better than for the regular batter without them.

If you want to feel the taste of the white chocolate chips, you might want to put some few additional chips in the middle of the muffin. You might as well decide to fill it with milk chocolate or even Nutella. I am not a fan of chocolate (you read right!!!), but these small guys are real killers!!! Difficult to stop.

You can freeze them if you desire or even cover them with cream cheese frosting. For a lighter version, see Everyday cream cheese frosting.


This is how it looked like with frosting. I personally always make very small cupcakes, so I can eat them in a few bites and the frosting to muffin ratio becomes somewhat higher. :O) Only problem is you need more than one small muffin plate to use up the whole batter... But well... What you do not do to get the right size... Hehe...

Ingredients

125 gr butter

170 gr sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla sugar

270 gr flour

2 tsp baking powder

1,5 dl milk

2 dl white Chocolate chips

Instructions

Turn on the oven at 200 (180) degrees (with ventilation)

Butter muffin pans in advance so they are ready when the cake mixture is.

In mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla sugar. Mix flour with baking powder. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, starting with the flour; mix well but slowly. Add the white chocolate chips. Pour into muffin pans.

Make sure that the chocolate chips do not surface as they will kind of burn otherwise.
