Make rich, moist, bakery-style double chocolate chip muffins at home. This easy recipe uses cocoa powder and chocolate chips for a fudgy result perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. For bakery-style tops, fill the cups nearly to the top.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 15 to 18 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra tall, domed tops, fill the muffin cups completely full and use the two-temperature baking method described above.
  • You can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt for some of the oil to increase moisture, using ¼ cup of the substitute for ¼ cup of oil.
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain moistness.
