I’m all about adding chocolate bars to baking projects. I’ve been making Top Deck cookies for years now, and last year when I made the Snickers Wedding Cake I made Twix cookies for all the guests. It just works. These Malteser Muffins are no different, they work too. More than work actually. I think it’s the sour cream in the batter, but it has a tang that is just irresistible.
I’m not sure if Maltesers are available all around the world, but they’re little balls of malt, which are light and scrumptious. Perfect to eat while movie-watching… or to put in your muffins.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 cups Maltesers, crushed
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 tbs baking powder
1 egg
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
125g butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
Method
♥ Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Get out 12 muffin cases {this makes 12 cupcake-sized muffins}.
♥ In a bowl place all the wet ingredients: egg, sour cream, vanilla, butter and milk. Mix to combine.
♥ Add in the dry ingredients: flour, Maltesers, caster sugar and baking powder. Gently fold together.
♥ Pour into your muffin cases, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until gold brown on top. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
♥ When cool, ice using the icing recipe below.
Caramel Icing
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 tbs milk
2 tbs golden syrup
30g butter, softened
♥ Mix all ingredients together until smooth and spread over your muffin.
So, what’s your favourite chocolate bar? What would you like to see added to some cookies or a muffin?
P.S. Lacey has decided that {at the grand old age of 5} she wants to master my big, heavy fancy camera. Here’s a photo she took. I love that she wants to try everything. I just love it.
These look so good. I totally stand by sour cream in cake. If you’re looking for another real winner, google: ‘Coco the Burlesque Wonder Cake”. Hands down the best chocolate cake ever. Also, Deb’s Cinnamon sour cream cake on Smitten Kitchen is such a good ‘Day Cake’ – as in, have it with anything..
Oh thank you. Thank you!
Ooooh we are going to be trying these at the weekend! And i might check them out too Karli, thanks x
Lacey did a great job on the photo xx
Oh yum! Definitely trying these ones out!
And I agree with MumOfFiveGirls, Lacey did a great job!
Great photo Lacey! little budding photographer there!
These look delish. Must try them!

These sound great, will try! I’m thinking Fry’s Turkish Delights should make something special… maybe a slice of some kind?
Hubby loves Turkish Delight… I’m not so sold. Are they your fave?
First off, great photo Lacey! She obviously takes after her mum! I am so going to try these – love Maltesers. I love Mars Bars too , and have a favourite Mars Bar Slice recipe. I’m a sucker for Toblerone, and can whizz up a wicked Toblerone Cheesecake in the Thermomix but Caramel Koalas are my all time fave. Can you make a cookie with them?
I reckon I could. Watch this space. 🙂
OMG – I just died and went to malteser muffin heaven! I’m thinking an adult version of these with baileys instead of milk would be amazing? But not sure if it would have the same baking effect or whether it would ruin the recipe?
I think that’s worth trying. Liquid is liquid. Let me know how it goes. 🙂
I am not a fan of Maltesers but my husband and kids are! Will have to make these for them!
I am really enjoying the new Cadbury Marvellous Creations at them moment!
Oh I saw this on Pinterest but resisted repinning! Now I’m just gonna have to save the recipe and try them! Bye bye diet!!
