Equipment
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add the buttermilk to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Mix the batter just until combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- For extra chocolatey muffins, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for a smoother batter and better rise.
