Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold the mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, leaving a few for topping if desired.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If reserved, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top of each muffin.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
