Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 ml vegetable oil
• 100 g of natural yogurt
• A pinch of salt
• 150 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (about 8 g)
• 4 tablespoons chocolate spread (freeze for 30 minutes)
• Chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chocolate filling:
   • Spoon 4 tablespoons of your favorite chocolate spread onto a parchment-lined plate, making sure each spoonful is separate.
   • Place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the chocolate and make it easier to insert into the muffin batter.
2. Prepare the muffin batter:
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper cases.
   • In a large bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, 100g granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
   • Gradually add 100 ml of vegetable oil and 100 g of natural yogurt, continuing to beat until smooth.
   • Add a pinch of salt, 150g of flour and 1 tbsp of baking powder to the wet ingredients. Gently mix everything together until the mixture is smooth, being careful not to overmix.

3. Assemble the muffins:
   • Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.
   • Remove the chocolate spread from the freezer and place a frozen chocolate ball in the center of each muffin cup.
   • Cover the chocolate with the remaining batter, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
   • Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin for added indulgence.
4. Bake the muffins:
   • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the chocolate center) comes out clean.
   • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
