Preparation

How to prepare Halloween Muffins

To prepare the Halloween muffins, pour the sugar into a bowl and add the softened butter 1. Scent with grated orange zest 2, then start beating the mixture with an electric whisk, adding the eggs one at a time 3.

Work with the electric whisk until you get a light and fluffy mixture 4. Now sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda directly into the bowl with the mixture 5. Also, add the pinch of salt and turn on the whisk again to incorporate the powders. You will notice that the batter becomes thicker, so thin it with the milk poured in a trickle 6.

When the mixture is soft and homogeneous 7, add the chocolate chips 8 and mix with a spatula to combine them 9.

Transfer the mixture to a disposable piping bag without a nozzle 10, this way you can work more precisely. Place the paper cases in a 12-muffin tray and fill them two-thirds full 11, leaving about half an inch from the edge 12.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 18-20 minutes in static mode. Remove from the oven and let cool completely 13. At this point, your chocolate chip muffins are ready to be decorated. Remove the paper cases 14, then apply the sugar eyes 15.

Stack the muffins on a small plate 16 and prepare the glaze: bring some water to a boil in a saucepan. Turn off the heat and place the cocoa glaze packet inside for 7-8 minutes. Take it out and dry the packet well before opening. Pour the glaze into a pitcher, then let it drizzle over the cupcakes 17. Your Halloween muffins are ready to be served 18!
