Ingredients (Makes 12 muffins):

  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar

  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)

  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • Optional: ½ cup (85g) dark or white chocolate chunks for extra flair

  • Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or grease lightly.

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

    3. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, both sugars, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    4. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix—this keeps the muffins fluffy.

    5. Fold in the chocolate chips (and chunks if using), then divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.

    6. Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired, for that bakery-style finish.

    7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

    8. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

    9. These muffins are even better the next day as the chocolate flavor deepens. Serve with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee and watch them disappear fast!
