Method · 50 min
- Line the muffin tin with paper cups.
- Peel the apples, core them and grate them on a coarse grater. Add 200 g to the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Mix the flour with baking powder, cocoa and cinnamon.
- Separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy and add the oil at the lowest speed.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, raisins and grated apples to the egg yolk foam. Finally, gently fold in the egg whites.
- Fill the muffin cups with batter about 3/4 of their volume. You can sprinkle small fruits, roughly chopped nuts or add a spoonful of Nutella on top. This will give each muffin an original taste and appearance.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Check the doneness with a skewer. Insert it into the dough and if it comes out dry and clean, it's done.
- Let the baked muffins cool briefly in the tin. Remove from the tin and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve alone or with whipped cream.
