Chocolate muffins with a crispy crust are a true delight for lovers of rich cocoa and soft texture. Their history begins in American cuisine, where muffins became a favorite breakfast and dessert. In this recipe, bitter chocolate combines with delicate yogurt to create a moist, airy structure. The crispy crust is the main highlight: it gives the muffins a special appetizing quality. These muffins are perfect with morning coffee or as a sweet treat at gatherings with friends. The aroma of fresh baking, with hints of cocoa and melted chocolate, fills the home with coziness, and each bite offers true pleasure.
