Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
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, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add milk and vegetable oil, and mix thoroughly until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry flour streaks remain.
- Fold in most of the chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top of each muffin.
- 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 the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Sift Your Dry Ingredients: For a lighter muffin, be sure to sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to avoid any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Use Quality Chocolate: The chocolate chunks make a significant difference in flavor. Opt for high-quality chocolate for a richer taste.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a couple of minutes before the suggested baking time. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Cool Properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove without breaking.
- Store Wisely: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’re best enjoyed within three days, but you can freeze leftovers for a quick treat later!
