Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed for richer flavor)
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or plain yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Add-Ins:
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85g) chopped dark chocolate (for extra richness, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Batter
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix—this keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add the Choco Chips for the Perfect Choco Muffin Recipe
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes (this helps the muffins rise better).
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
Notes
✔️ Use high-quality cocoa powder – Dutch-processed gives the deepest chocolate flavor.
✔️ Don’t overmix the batter – This keeps the muffins tender.
✔️ For taller muffin tops, bake at 400°F (200°C) for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C).
