Double Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate muffins filled with tons of chocolate chunks! These are the best excuse to have chocolate for breakfast! They taste just like the chocolate muffins from a bakery!

Author Adell

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 3/4 cup flour (8.75 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup coco powder (2.5 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks (or chips), reserve some for tops of muffins
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (can use oil)
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (see note)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 375. (350 if your muffin pan is a dark coated pan) Add paper liners to your muffin tin and set aside. These are my favorite liners.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugars, coco powder, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Stir in the chocolate chips then set aside.

  3. In a medium sized (microwave proof) bowl melt the butter. (I do 40 seconds. Don't melt it so much that is too hot). Or you can use 1/2 cup oil in place of the butter. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla and stir till combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, don't over mix it.

  4. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups. This recipe makes about 15-18 muffins. I filled the muffin cups pretty full and got 15 muffins.

  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. You don't wanna over bake them. Let cool for a minute then remove them from the pan to cool completely. 

Recipe Notes

  • If you don't have buttermilk you can do a sour cream / milk combo. I have made them with half milk (3/4 cup) and half sour cream (3/4 cup). I prefer them with buttermilk, but either works!
  • I have made these with melted butter and avocado oil. Both work great! I prefer butter cause...butter, haha. But both work great.
  • I made these with chocolate chunks from Trader Joes. I used the 10 ounce bag and saved about 1/3 to sprinkle on top of the muffins. You can add as much or as little chocolate chips as you want. But really though, if you are making double chocolate muffins, I say the more chocolate the better, right?!
