Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup milk or plant-based alternative
¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Equipment

1 Mixing Bowl – large, for combining wet and dry ingredients
1 Whisk – for mixing the batter evenly
1 – Muffin Tin – Standard 12-cup
Muffin Liners – to prevent sticking
1 Oven – preheated at 350°F (175°C)

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir just until combined, do not overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a richer finish.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let muffins rest in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra richness, substitute half the milk with yogurt.
To make a healthier version, replace sugar with honey or coconut sugar.
These muffins pair wonderfully with a refreshing drink like this Coconut Mojito Recipe.
