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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Batter

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. 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

  1. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate.
  2. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes (this helps the muffins rise better).

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. 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).
