How to Make Double Chocolate Muffins
First things first: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your trusty muffin tin and line it with paper liners or grease it well.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and fluffy. This step ensures your muffins will be light.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. The aroma of mixed wet ingredients should start teasing your senses by now.
Add Wet to Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold them together until just combined; don’t overmix or your muffins may turn tough!
Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in those glorious chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter—a little extra won’t hurt either!
Bake Away: Spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins about two-thirds full. Pop them into the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes; you’ll know they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Your kitchen will smell heavenly at this point!
Enjoy these Double Chocolate Muffins warm or at room temperature—just try not to eat them all at once!
