Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line two 12-count muffin tins with 18 paper liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, melted butter, and vegetable oil together.
- Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, making sure to whisk just until no large lumps remain. You don’t want to ovemix.
- Add the mini chocolate chips and fold them into the muffin batter.
- Divide the batter between the muffin pans, filling each one completely full. Top with additional mini chocolate chips or coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Remove the muffins to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Storage: Store chocolate muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- You can use brown sugar in place of the white sugar, if you prefer.
- In place of the butter, you can use an equal amount of vegetable oil.
- In place of the vegetable oil, you can use any other neutral oil, such as canola or coconut.
- Feel free to use whatever milk you have on hand, including plant-based milk.
- For gluten-free muffins, use a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour in place of the all-purpose flour.
- Use whatever unsweetened cocoa powder you have on hand.
- For flavored chocolate muffins, swap the vanilla extract for orange or peppermint.
- To enhance the chocolatey flavor, add ½ teaspoon of instant espresso or instant coffee granules.
- Feel free to use whatever chocolate chips or flavored baking chips you like, such as milk, dark, white chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, or caramel!
- You can add up to ½ cup of other mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, candies, or dried fruits.
- Do NOT reduce the amount of sugar in these muffins; otherwise, they may turn out dry.
- Use room temperature milk and eggs for the fluffiest muffins.
- If your cocoa powder seems lumpy, sift it through a fine-mesh sieve to help it mix in more easily.
- Do NOT overmix the batter; otherwise, you will end up with tough muffins.
- Do NOT open the oven door while the muffins are baking. This could cause them to deflate.
- Take care not to overbake these muffins; otherwise, they will end up dry.
