Here's a simple and delicious recipe for chocolate muffins:
Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour - 1 3/4 cups (220g)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 cup (50g)
- Granulated sugar - 3/4 cup (150g)
- Brown sugar - 1/2 cup (100g)
- Baking powder - 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Chocolate chips - 1 cup (175g) (plus extra for topping)
- Large eggs - 2
- Milk - 1 cup (240ml)
- Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup (120ml)
- Vanilla extract - 2 teaspoons
- Boiling water - 1/2 cup (120ml)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chocolate chips.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour in the boiling water and stir gently until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
-
Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
-
Bake: 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.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your rich and moist chocolate muffins with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
