A pocket of raspberry jam is hidden inside each of these indulgent muffins.
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces sweet cooking chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachio nuts
1 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
Heat oven to 375°F. Line with paper baking cups or grease bottoms only of 10 jumbo muffin cups. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; mix well. Reserve 1/3 cup of the largest pieces of chopped chocolate; reserve 2 tablespoons of the pistachios. Stir remaining chopped chocolate and pistachios into dry ingredients. In small bowl, combine milk, margarine, lemon peel, vanilla and egg; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Fill each paper-lined muffin cup with 2 heaping tablespoons batter. Spoon rounded teaspoon jam into center of batter in each cup. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the remaining batter over jam in each cup. Top each with reserved chopped chocolate and pistachios.
Bake at 375°F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Serve warm or cool.
TIP: For regular-sized muffins, line 20 regular-sized muffin cups with paper baking cups or grease bottoms only. Prepare batter as directed above. Fill each paper-lined muffin cup with 1 tablespoon batter. Place rounded 1/2 teaspoon jam in center of batter in each cup. Spoon remaining batter evenly over each filled cup, covering jam. Top each with reserved chopped chocolate and pistachios. Bake at 375°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan.
