Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. 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.
