Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 120 milliliters milk
• 80 milliliters vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 200 grams cream cheese
• 50 grams confectioners' sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are fine.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be the cheesecake filling.

Step 7

Spoon a tablespoon of the chocolate muffin batter into each muffin cup, making sure the bottom is covered.

Step 8

Add a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling to the center of each muffin cup, then top with another tablespoon of the chocolate muffin batter, ensuring the filling is fully covered.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the chocolate portion comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your rich, decadent Double Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins New Zealand style!
