Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; line 15 muffin tins with paper liners. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix together flour, hazelnut meal, baking powder and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
• In a large bowl, using electric mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until well combines. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Alternatively beat in flour mixture and milk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of milk, beating until smooth.
• Scoop batter into prepared pans. Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and let completely cool off on racks.
• To make hazelnut meal: Place 1/2 cup of hazelnuts in a single layer on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in center of preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until slightly blistered. Wrap the nuts in a clean kitchen towel and let stand for 1 minute. Rub nuts in towel to remove loose skins (it's ok if you are unable to remove all the skin). Let cool completely before placing in a food processor with a metal blade. Grind the nuts finely, but be careful not to over process too much.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line 2 heavy baking sheets with parchment paper. Finely chop the oats in a food processor. Transfer the oats to a medium bowl. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in the toffee, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips.
• For each cookie, drop 1 rounded tablespoonful of dough onto sheet, spacing 1 inch apart (do not flatten dough). Bake until the cookies are golden (cookies will flatten slightly), about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely. (The cookies can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.)
