What’s better than warm, rich double chocolate chip muffins in the morning? That’s what I thought. These muffins will satisfy all your chocolate cravings, and they take less than an hour to whip up.
I’ve got to say, you do have to be a chocolate lover to fully reap the benefits of this delectable muffin recipe. Plain chocolate and vanilla chocolate chip muffins are one thing, but these double chocolate chip ones are made specially for the chocoholic out there. I’m telling you these muffins didn’t last longer than 2 days in my household. That’s 1 day longer than my tres leches cake lasted!
What you’ll need to bring these chocolate muffins to life is:
- Sugar. White granulated sugar is what I used, bur brown sugar will work just fine.
- Flour. All-purpose will give you the best results here.
- Cocoa powder. Investing in some high-quality cocoa powder will do wonders.
- Baking powder. Necessary for rising of cupcakes.
- Baking soda. Also necessary for rising of cupcakes.
- Salt. To contrast that sweet, rich chocolate flavor.
- Eggs. Large size eggs work just fine here.
- Milk. Whole, skim, 2%, almond, oat, etc… You get the idea.
- Vegetable oil. Can be substituted for butter.
- Mini chocolate chips. For that extra level of richness.
How to make double chocolate chip muffins:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine sugar, vegetable oil, and milk in a bowl and whisk. Add eggs and whisk mixture until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix and set aside.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just barley incorporated. Add mini chocolate chips to the mixture and mix.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop muffin mixture into tins, filling just barley to the top, or about 3/4. Bake for 18 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let brownies cool for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
