Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (reserve some for topping)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips, reserving a few chocolate chips for topping the muffins later.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil using a fork until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix everything just until no flour streaks remain, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each for an extra chocolaty finish.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake at 350℉ (175℃) for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- These muffins store well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure moist and tender muffins.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if desired.
