Chocolate Muffins With Chocolate Chips Recipe

Chocolate muffins with chocolate chips are a type of baked good that combines a rich, chocolate-flavored muffin base with added chocolate chips. The muffins are typically a deep, rich brown, indicating their chocolatey goodness. It’s top may be slightly domed with a bit of a textured crust, often sprinkled with visible chocolate chips, adding a touch of shine from melted chocolate. The interior is dense yet soft, with a moist texture that contrasts with the slightly firmer exterior.

The outside of the muffin has a slight crispness, especially around the edges, where the sugar in the batter caramelizes a bit during baking. The chocolate chips scattered throughout melt slightly during baking, resulting in pockets of gooey, melty chocolate.

The melted chocolate chips add an extra burst of chocolate flavor and a creamy texture in every bite. Depending on the recipe, there might be subtle undertones of vanilla or coffee, which enhance the overall chocolatey experience.

As they bake, the muffins fill the kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma of chocolate and sweetness, creating a cozy atmosphere. The combination of baking cocoa and melting chocolate chips is irresistible and suggests comfort and indulgence.

These muffins can be enjoyed warm from the oven for the ultimate melty chocolate experience. They can be paired with a glass of cold milk, a hot cup of coffee, or a rich hot chocolate for a chocolate-on-chocolate treat. You might also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert option.

Overall, chocolate muffins with chocolate chips are a delightful and comforting treat that combines the best elements of a chocolate cake and a chocolate chip cookie, offering a versatile indulgence for any occasion.

How To Make Chocolate Muffins With Chocolate Chips?

Here’s my simple recipe to make chocolate muffins with chocolate chips toppings.

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
2pcs eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1tsp vanilla flavor or 1drop lemon flavor
1 can 140ml evaporated milk
1/3 cup chocolate chips mix in the batter
1/4 cup chocolate chips for toppings

Instructions:

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla or lemon flavor, sugar, oil or melted butter and evaporated milk.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing, which can make the muffins tough.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips coated with 1 teaspoon flour until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Preheat your oven to 160°C. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with muffin foil cups or paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray or butter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 9 muffin cups. Fill each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
You can add on top with additional chocolate chips or nuts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Success

Don’t Over-mix: Over-mixing can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Add-ins: You can add chopped nuts, additional chocolate chips, or even a dash of coffee powder for enhanced flavor.
Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
