Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal.
- Create a dry mixture by thoroughly combining flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Blend milk, vegetable oil, and eggs in a separate container until the liquid becomes uniform and silky.
- Gently merge wet and dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing; carefully incorporate chocolate chips throughout the batter.
- Distribute the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with minimal crumbs.
- Allow muffins to rest and slightly cool for a few minutes, then serve while still warm for optimal texture and flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumpy batter and ensure smooth, even texture in muffins.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to tough, dense muffins; mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for better ingredient integration and consistent baking results.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar texture and taste.
