Ingredients

servings:

125 grams butter
125 grams chocolate (70% cocoa)
1 medium egg
175 grams cane sugar
200 milliliters milk
150 grams greek yogurt
225 grams flour
40 grams cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
50 grams orange (candied, chopped into small pieces)
100 grams cherries (in natural juice, drained.)
60 grams walnuts (chopped)

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 170C.
Grease a muffin pan or insert paper cases into the muffin pan.
Melt the chocolate with the butter on medium heat in the microwave, one minute at a time, stirring between stops, until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside.
Beat the egg with the sugar, milk, and yogurt.
Add the melted chocolate and mix well.
Add the cherries, candied orange, and walnuts, and mix again.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt over the mixture. Mix all the ingredients together with a spatula just enough for the dry ingredients to be completely blended.
Transfer the mixture to the molds but do not overfill.
