Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin – this is normal!
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an even richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you prefer.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
