Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.33 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 cups mixed fresh fruit (e.g., blueberries, chopped strawberries, or diced bananas)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sieve together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and mixed fresh fruit gently to distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the Chocolate Fruit Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
