Description
Indulge in these rich double chocolate chip muffins, featuring a decadent cocoa-based batter studded with plenty of chocolate chips for an intensely chocolatey treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 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
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
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.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Carefully pour in the boiling water and whisk until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Stir in both the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- 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 a combination of dark and milk chocolate chips.
- Ensure your boiling water is indeed boiling; this helps bloom the cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate taste.
- You can add a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients to enhance the chocolate flavor.
