I always try to include my kids when I bake something. Recently, I decided to graduate from making simple brownies and sheet cakes to trying out recipes with yeasted dough. I’ve been drooling over photos of chocolate swirled babka on Pinterest and instagram for the last month or two and I decided to pull the trigger and try out some chocolate babka muffins. And let me tell you, I’m so glad we went for it!
We decided to create the chocolate babka muffins by rolling the dough out out like sweet roll dough. Then we layered in chocolate, cinnamon, and butter to make a paste. The kids cut the dough into strips and knotted it up before putting it in a muffin tin, adding more cocoa, and a sprinkling of chocolate chips. We let them bake for a little under 20 minutes, standing by the oven as the aroma of sweet cinnamon chocolate filled the air. I barely had time to take a picture before everyone ate them up. They were beyond delicious, such a scrumptious treat for morning!
