  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin-tin liners.

  4. Carefully fold in chocolate chips, reserving some for the tops and hazelnuts.

  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the center of toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from muffin pan. Serve with butter.
