Description
Delicious and moist classic chocolate muffins perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the sugar to 1 ¼ cups.
