Chocolate Muffins
Description
These Chocolate Muffins start by mixing dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, leavening agents, and salt. Wet ingredients milk, oil, and beaten egg are whisked separately and then combined with dry ingredients just until mixed to prevent toughness. Chocolate chips fold in gently to provide pockets of melted chocolate throughout.
Baking in a greased or lined muffin tin at a high temperature encourages good rise and forms a tender crumb. The muffins become cooked through within the time range specified by a toothpick test to ensure doneness. The texture is moist with rich cocoa flavor paired with sweet bursts from chocolate chips.
While suitable for immediate serving, leftovers store well in an airtight container for several days and freeze well when individually wrapped. Multiple tips ensure freshness and a tender crumb, such as avoiding overmixing and adding extra chocolate chips.
