Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, semisweet chocolate chips, baking powder, and salt, ensuring an even mix of all dry components.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool the muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- For extra chocolate flavor, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangier taste and fluffier texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; a few lumps are okay.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- To make these muffins vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk.
