Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 0.5 cup Neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, leaving the remaining 0.5 cup to top the muffins.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin for that signature gooey chocolate finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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