Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-Ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
- Extra chocolate chips for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Fill the muffin pan.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
- Bake.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffins soft and fluffy.
- For best results, use room-temperature eggs and milk so the batter mixes evenly.
- Vegetable oil makes the muffins extra moist, but melted butter can be used for more flavor.
- For a bakery-style look, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to prevent sticking.
- Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so start checking a few minutes early.
