Ingredients
- oil, for brushing
 - 85g self-raising flour
 - ½ tsp baking powder
 - 40g cocoa
 - 40g ground almonds
 - 125g butter softened
 - 100g golden caster sugar
 - 2 eggs
 - 6 Lindt milk chocolate balls
 
Method
Ask your grown-up helper to switch the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Use a pastry brush to brush the muffin tin or pudding moulds with oil.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and cocoa into a bowl, then stir in the ground almonds.
Beat the butter with the sugar using a wooden spoon or electric beaters.
Add the eggs and flour mix, and beat everything together. Add 1 tbsp water if the mixture is too thick to fall off the spoon.
Spoon the mixture into the tins or moulds and level the tops. Push a chocolate into the middle of each one – but don’t push it right to the bottom.
Ask a grown-up to put the puds in the oven for 20-25 mins. Leave for 10 mins or until cool enough to handle, then carefully turn out onto plates.
