Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat). Line a muffin tin with paper baking cups. Mix together the flour, sugar, ground hazelnuts, orange zest, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the oil and hazelnut milk while stirring. Then briefly fold in the melted chocolate. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. For the topping, beat all ingredients except the cream cheese with a hand mixer for 5 minutes until very creamy. Add the cream cheese and briefly mix with a whisk. Spread the topping on the muffins, forming two small ears. Reserve about ½ teaspoon. Carefully twist the Oreo cookies open to keep the filling intact. Reserve half without the filling for another use. Place a brown chocolate chip cookie on each filled cookie with a little of the remaining topping as pupils. Top each muffin with two Oreo halves with eyes and place an orange chocolate chip between each one as a nose. The owl is ready!
