For this week’s Holiday Muffin Monday we’re baking Brownie Muffins. I have baked brownie muffins before but not with the Muffin Monday team. So here’s take 2 with a whole variation.
The recipe is beyond delish and I’ve made 3 variations, changing the base minimally. I used ground hazelnuts replacing half-cup of the self raising flour and then divided the batter into 3 parts.
The first part is with a 1/2 teaspoon mint extract and a couple of tablespoons of mint chocolate chips.
For the second part, I left the batter untouched but added a chocolate chip streusel on top.
And for the last one, I only gave the simply divine chocolate brownies a dark and white chocolate ganache.
Now If I had to pick one between these, I would go for the mint. Well, then again the streusel is… Never mind. The last one I call a Chocolate Overload. And who could possibly say no to that, right?
Make sure you are back for next week’s Muffin Monday. We have something very special in store for you.

Delicious! I’d want to try one of each….but the chocolate overload look amazing! Actually, they ALL look amazing! How clever to make three different muffins with one master recipe! Beautifully done!
These sound amazing and decadent! I am especially loving the streusel topped one! A streusel topped brownie?!?! You have made a brownie even better than it already is by topping it with my favorite thing! Love that they are muffins as well for individual servings!

Wow! Brownies are by far my favorite dessert and these look amazing! I love the different options you gave as well. All of a sudden I’m craving chocolate….
All of your variations look delish! I especially like the mint chocolate combination :) I will have to give these a shot on the weekend! For the hazelnuts, once ground … are they the consistency of almond flour?
TIA :)
Thanks Vicky! Ground hazelnuts are very much like almond flour. I love the subtle nutty flavor it adds to the muffin.
They all look so gooood! Thank you for sharing!
Oh my, these look phenomenal! I honestly want to eat the picture haha!
Divine!!! Your baking, photos, and recipes are amazing and inspiring! Thank you!
