Indulge in these decadent bakery-style chocolate muffins, bursting with rich chocolate flavor in every bite! Moist and tender yet sturdy enough for on-the-go enjoyment, these muffins are a chocolate lover’s dream. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch that’s perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240g) plain yogurt
- ⅓ cup (80mL) milk
- ½ cup (120mL) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (6oz / 170g) chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, eggs, yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks, being careful not to overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup to the top for that perfect muffin dome! Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (you may see melted chocolate).
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them slightly warm!
Get ready to enjoy a deliciously chocolatey treat!
