Basic Muffin Mix Ingredients- Plain Muffin Mix 200g
- Chocolate Muffin Mix 200g
Muffin Batter Essentials- Eggs 2
- Water 96g (48g for plain mix, 48g for chocolate mix)
- Vegetable Oil 96g (48g for plain mix, 48g for chocolate mix)
- Eggs 2
- Water 96g (48g for plain mix, 48g for chocolate mix)
- Vegetable Oil 96g (48g for plain mix, 48g for chocolate mix)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, combine the plain muffin mix (200g) with 1 egg, 48g of water, and 48g of vegetable oil in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps. A smooth batter is key for perfect muffins.
Step 2
Next, in a separate bowl, mix the chocolate muffin mix (200g) with 1 egg, 48g of water, and 48g of vegetable oil. Stir until you achieve a smooth, rich chocolate batter. Aim for a similar consistency to the plain batter.
Step 3
Spoon about one-third of the plain muffin batter into each muffin cup. Be careful not to overfill, as the muffins will rise during baking.
Step 4
Gently pour about one-third of the chocolate batter over the plain batter in each cup. Layering the batters creates a beautiful swirl effect once baked.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 12 minutes. Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they are ready. Adjust baking time as needed.
Step 6
Once baked, let the muffins cool slightly. Then, very lightly melt the marshmallows – you can do this carefully over a low flame (like with a kitchen torch or hovering over a stove burner), or in very short bursts in the microwave. Brush or spread the melted marshmallow over the top of each muffin to create the ghost’s body, letting it set to hold its shape.
Step 7
Finally, use melted chocolate to draw cute ghost eyes and a mouth on the marshmallow topping. Your adorable Halloween ghost muffins are complete! This is a wonderfully fun activity to share with children. Enjoy your spooky treats!
