Lemon and dark chocolate may sound like a strange combination but trust me, it works brilliantly! I love anything lemon and this combination with tangy buttermilk magically creates moist and insanely delicious muffins. Studded with heavenly little chunks of dark chocolate and subtle hints of lemon zest and vanilla, they are transformed into something really special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took me a couple of fails to finally get this recipe for Lemon-Buttermilk Muffins right. I guess that’s why I rarely bake. Baking really is as much science as art. Sometimes the result of my experiments are spectacular, other times they are so very off. But I am excited to say, this one is pretty awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I transformed half of my muffins into cupcakes by topping them with a sweet lemony glaze – the boys loved them and devoured half the batch in minutes! And the rest I left as their purist selves. Both delicious in their own right. Anyone who knows me will tell you I have a non-existent sweet tooth. So I use only 1\/2 cup of Mascobado<\/a> (also spelled Muscovado) unrefined brown sugar, since I love it’s molasses flavor. For those of you with an undeniable sweet tooth, it’s easy to create a a sweeter variation. Just add an additional 1\/2 cup cane sugar (65 g).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Either way, you\u2019ll adore these, they make for a really happy afternoon snack. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Lemon-Buttermilk](\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Zitronen-Vanille-Buttermilch-Muffins-mit-dunklen-Schokoladest\u00fccken2.jpg\")
