Ingredients:

• 1 pot (125g) of plain yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 100 g sugar
• 110 g vegetable oil
• 140 g all-purpose flour
• 1/2 packet of baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

• Chocolate spread (slightly softened in the microwave)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:
   In a large bowl, mix the yogurt and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the oil and mix until smooth.
2. Mix the dry ingredients:
   Sift together the flour and baking powder and gradually add them to the wet mixture. Stir until you have a smooth, lump-free dough.
3. Divide the dough:
   Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, add the vanilla extract and mix well. In the other bowl, sift the cocoa powder and mix until smooth.
4. Create the marble effect:
   Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Alternately pour the vanilla and chocolate batter into each muffin tin, filling each tin three-quarters full. Use a toothpick to mix the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
5. Bake the muffins:
   Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake muffins for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Add the gooey filling:
   While the muffins are cooling, microwave the spread for about 15 seconds until soft. Transfer the spread to a piping bag fitted with a filling tip. Once the muffins are cool enough to handle, carefully pipe the chocolate spread into each muffin, filling the center.
7. Serve and enjoy:
   Let muffins cool completely before serving or enjoy warm with the gooey center still melted.

• For a more indulgent touch, sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
• Be sure to fill the muffins generously for a perfect gooey surprise in every bite!
