Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon Butter
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 Large Egg
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
Add-ins
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate large jug or bowl, whisk together softened butter, eggs, buttermilk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently with a rubber spatula, whisk, or wooden spoon until fully incorporated and free from lumps. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully to distribute evenly.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full. Top each with additional chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool Down: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing with wet ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for maximum rise.
- Adding extra chocolate chips on top enhances the chocolate flavor and appearance.
- Cool the muffins properly before storing to prevent sogginess.
