Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (6 ¾ ounces; 195 grams)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (5 ¼ ounces; 150 grams)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder, sift if lumpy (1 ½ ounces; 50 grams)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (4 ounces; 113 grams)
  • ½ cup butter, melted (4 ounces; 113 grams)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (6 ounces; 170 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line 12 standard muffin cups with paper liners. Lightly grease the top of the pan to keep the muffins from sticking.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Mix until a thick batter forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.

  3. Spoon batter into the prepared pan. Fill each cup about ⅔ full. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

  4. Bake until muffins are set and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  5. Cool the muffins in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove and let them cool completely.
  6. Store muffins covered on the counter for up to three days or freeze cooled muffins for up to three months.
