Cook Time: 20 mins
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 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 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 vegetable oil, eggs, and milk 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 3/4 cup of chocolate chips into the batter, 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 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 warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter - this is crucial for achieving a tender, soft muffin texture. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of standard milk chocolate.
- Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature to help create a smoother batter.
- Check muffins a minute or two before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let muffins cool slightly in the pan to help them set and prevent falling apart when removing.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top immediately after baking for a melty, glossy finish.
