Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt for extra moisture)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the batter.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best moist muffin recipe results, ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • These double chocolate chip muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to three months.
