Best Ever Double Chocolate Muffins

Double Chocolate Muffins

Yesterday I went online to find an easy and good chocolate muffin recipe. As a picky eater, it was hard for me. I found one to try and it was amazing. It was a one bowl one recipe for me and the princess enjoyed it! I would definitely make this again. Thanks to Chrissie at The Busy Baker for this recipe.

So, I made it mostly to the directions, but I got distracted taking care of the children so here are the changes that happened. 🙂

  1. I forgot the vanilla entirely. I was running around doing things and didn’t add it at all. I remembered when I was baking the standard size and measuring out the mini size. The recipe turned out just fine without it, but I hope to try it with vanilla next time.
  2. I added more chocolate chips. I used probably another generous 1/2 cup to top the muffins.
  3. I also used mini chips to top the mini muffins I made.

Something to note is that for me the recipe made way more than the 12 muffins I thought it would. I had an additional 12 mini muffins from the recipe so maybe it makes 12 jumbo recipes. Either way there were no negative consequences for me!

Finally, when I transferred the recipe to here, I adjusted the liquids so that I measured all of the liquid ingredients in a 2 cup measuring cup to utilize less dishes.

*For the original recipe you can find it here. https://thebusybaker.ca/best-ever-double-chocolate-muffins/

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 t vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • More chocolate chips (mini and regular size if you use a mini cupcake pan)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line the muffin tins.
  2. In a large bowl whisk all the ingredients from flour to chocolate chips.
  3. Measure all of the liquid ingredients (in the order they are listed from milk to eggs) into a 2 cup measuring cup. Whisk with a fork.
  4. Add the liquids to the bowl and mix until there are no streaks of flour remaining. YOU CAN MIX TOO LONG.  
  5. Fill the cups. I shot for 3/4 of the way up. 
  6. Add additional chocolate chips here. I may have added too many, but can you really have too many?
  7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 23-25 minutes (mine baked about 21-22 minutes) or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Be careful you may hit a chocolate chip if you put too many in like I did! If you are doing mini muffins, I found that I ended up baking mine at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. 
  8. COOL! I know you want to eat them right away, but I found when I opened them up to soon they broke into multiple pieces and once they cooled that didn’t happen that much.
