Spoon chocolate batter equally into muffin pan. (about 2 oz for each muffin cup)

Bake at 350 F for 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean.

IMPORTANT LESSON FOR BEGINNERS!

Why is it so important not to over mix the muffins?

Because you don’t want to make dense muffins. So, be sure when you combine dry and wet ingredients it is not over done. So, how are you going to know? Well, just stir until moistened. (no flour visible)

How to know when chocolate muffins are baked if they are full of chocolate?

This is how. When you insert the toothpick into the center, some melted chocolate on toothpick is OK (after all toothpick is just like us, in love with chocolate.) However be sure there is NOT batter on toothpick.

So, yes some chocolate on toothpick is OK!

This is the most important – use your imagination and create, create until it hurts. Don’t be afraid.

So, my suggestion for this recipe is to top the muffins with the most amazing Nutella ganache. What is yours?

Simple and delicious! A+ delicious.

The options for filling are nearly endless.

It is number 8 in very horizontal, lazy position.

Ingredients

1 cup flour (all purpose and unbleached)
2 eggs (large size)
3/4 cup milk (2% or higher)
1/2 tsp black, ground pepper (or to your taste)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Optional: 1 small onion, chopped
1 cup sauerkraut
oil for pan

Instructions

The first step that will answer the question how to make savory crepes, is to find the mixing bowl.

So, let me repeat the first thing you need is the mixing bowl.

To the mixing bowl, add all ingredient but sauerkraut. (yes, it is that easy)

So, to the mixing bowl add flour, eggs, milk, minced garlic, black pepper and onion(if you are using it)

Then mix all ingredients using the mixer until the mixture is smooth.

Then add the 1 cup of sauerkraut and mix until all ingredients are combined.

Your next step is to find the pan that you will be using the make the crepes.

I used very small pan and I added 1 tsp of oil into it.

Heat a frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat until fully heated.

Then add 1/4 cup of the batter to the center of the pan.

Use the metal spoon to create the circle that is about 5 inch size.

IMPORTANT: This batter is not like normal crepes batter. So, you will need spoon to distribute the sauerkraut into the perfect circle. (remember, the perfection doesn't exist, so be kind to yourself)

Cook for about 2 minutes and then use large knife of spatula to flip the savory crepe.

Then cook the other side for about 2 minutes or until golden.

Transfer the cooked crepes to a large plate and repeat until all savory crepes batter is used.

Serve immediately with sour cream, garlic, plain yogurt, tomatoes, feta cheese.
