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
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
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.
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.
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.
