Christmas Calendar 2015 - Pepper nut muffins

When I noticed this recipe on pepper nut muffins in a small Christmas recipe folder from Dr. Oetker,I knew at once, that I should make these muffins for my annual Christmas Calender. I have no modifications to the these muffins.

Another time I would reduced the amount of butter inside, as the muffins are actually quiet greasy. The muffin are also quiet sweet doe to the addition of white chocolate, so an option could be to reduce the amount of white chocolate from 100 g to 50 g.

This recipe is a typical Dr. Oetker recipe, as the majority of in the ingredients inside are various Dr. Oetker ingredients.
