  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C for fan ovens) Gas Mark 5.
  2. 2. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder in a bowl.
  3. 3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk, oil and a dollop of the caramel. Then, mix this gently into the flour until just combined, don’t beat hard (if it looks lumpy its right!).
  4. 4. Gently swirl through the rest of the caramel until rippled.
  5. 5. Place muffin cases in the tin and spoon in the muffin mix. Bake for about 20 minutes, cool slightly then tuck in!
  6. These muffins are scrumptious straight from the oven – perk them up the next day by microwaving for 10 seconds to warm the caramel.

    These muffins are so easy to make. I found it was better to give the caramel a good stir before you fold it into the batter though. I also added some choc chips and spooned some of the caramel onto the top of the muffins before baking,this made them deliciously sticky! Gorgeous.

    would you be able to use chocolate chips in them to make the extra chocolaty ??

    Just made these, doesn't really taste of anything even though I used good quality cocoa powder! Very disappointed :(

    Carnation says:
    Hi Holly, oh dear! Sorry to hear that - it's one of our most popular recipes. Why not try our Banoffee Muffins instead?

    In step 4, does this just mean add the rest of the caramel and mix it into the mixture?

    Carnation says:
    Hi Danielle, basically yes - but it's lovely when you get pockets of caramel swirled through the mixture rather than completely mixed in. Happy Baking!

    I found these muffins lovely but could taste the baking powder, id the recipe correct using 2 tsps?? or is it possible to reduce it or use something else like bicarb as well?

    Carnation says:
    Hi Julie, over to you to experiment! We think it needs 2tsp but you could try a little less or 1tsp baking powder and 1tsp bicarb of soda... See if that helps - we'd love to know!
