Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven at 180°C. Line a baking tray with greasproof paper. Sift the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Melt the chocolate in a bain marie in simmering water and allow to cool slightly.
Step 2
Beat the butter with the sugar and maple syrup in a medium bowl until the mixture whitens. Add the chocolate and vanilla. Gradually add the flour and sour cream, alternating these two ingredients. Pour into muffin tins, filling about two-thirds.
Step 3
Bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes on a baking tray. To check they're done prick with the tip of a knife - it should come out dry. Leave to cool for 5 minutes in the tin on a rack, then turn them out. Cool completely. Cover with plenty of Nutella. Garnish with roasted hazelnuts and strawberries.
