These are sooo yummy, and they look very cafe-style in the muffin wrappers. Warning – these muffins do contain amines, which would make them great for an amines challenge. The recipe came from BBC Food and needed no modification, but I did swap the flour for half wholemeal. I also doubled the recipe since 6 muffins are just not enough! They are delicious with the chocolate dusting, but also still very yummy without it.
