Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredient mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Sifting the flour and cocoa powder not only helps to eliminate lumps but also aerates the mixture, leading to lighter muffins.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Use Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Dark chocolate chips can add an extra depth of taste to your muffins.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins around the 22-minute mark. They’re done when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Cool Properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove.
- Storage Tips: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add nuts, or swap in different types of chocolate chips to personalize your muffins. The possibilities are endless!
