Hazelnut and Caramel Muffins
"I don't usually use 'cheat' ingredients, but I recently won a cookbook and some tinned caramel courtesy of Carnation, so used it to make this recipe.
These are so easy and quick...and ohhhh so yummy--perfect with a cup of coffee or as a dessert with a little cream.
I took some to my children's playgroup,for morning coffee..they were devoured in seconds, with recipe requests galore!
The hazelnuts are not essential, but very nice!"

- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
12 muffins
ingredients
- 9 ounces self-raising flour
- 4 ounces light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml milk
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 397 g carnation caramels
- 4 ounces roasted hazelnuts
directions
- Heat the oven to 190C/350F/gas 5.Place the flour, sugar and baking powder into a bowl and mix together.
- In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, without beating.
- Drop spoonfuls of the caramel into the mixture, gently swirl through, but don't mix it in--it's nice to have pockets of caramel in the finished muffins.
- Place muffin cases in a 12 cup tin. Spoon the mixture into the cases until quite full, then top with the hazelnuts.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and golden, then serve warm.

If you're a caramel fan, you'll love these muffins! The only reason these did not get 5 stars was because of the directions. I followed those directions faithfully and filled the cups "quite full". My muffins exploded all over my muffin tin. But the taste was still wonderful. I am going to try again and hopefully get some photo-worthy muffins! Thnx for sharing your great tasting recipe, Noo. Made for PRMR. 2/28.....Tried them again, and they did explode again, even though this time I only filled the tins 3/4's full....The best results were the mini muffins I tried, but I didn't have the paper cups for the mini's, so a few stuff to the tin. I used the rest of the batter to try making it into a sweet loaf.....I sure do wish I knew what I am doing wrong....I'll keep trying, Noo...... -
I "iced" these with nutella.. my kids thought they were getting dessert for breakfast!
