Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate Muffins combine cocoa powder and chocolate chips into a tender crumb with a moist texture. Balanced leavening with baking powder and baking soda creates a muffin that rises well and stays moist. These muffins bake at 400°F for up to 22 minutes, developing a soft interior and subtle chocolate flavor, ideal for breakfast or snack times.
