Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 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, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil 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 rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 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 and enjoy the rich, chocolatey muffins at room temperature.
Tips
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the most even mixing and best texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - gentle folding is key to keeping the muffins light and tender.
- For extra indulgence, try using high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Check your muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
- For a gourmet twist, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the muffins right after baking to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Store muffins in an airtight container to maintain their moisture for up to 3 days.
- For maximum chocolate impact, warm the muffins slightly before serving to help the chocolate chips become soft and gooey.
