Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Baking Powder: This gives the muffins their lift; make sure it’s fresh for best results.
Granulated Sugar: Sweetness is key! Adjust according to your taste preference.
Brown Sugar: For moisture and a hint of caramel flavor; don’t skip this one!

Salt: Just a pinch enhances all the flavors beautifully.
Eggs: They bind everything together and help with leavening.
Milk: Use whole milk for extra richness; it makes a difference in texture.

Vegetable Oil: For moisture; you can also use melted butter if you prefer.
Chocolate Chips: Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for those irresistible gooey bites!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners—this keeps cleanup easy!

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs and mix in milk and vegetable oil until smooth. The mixture should look creamy and inviting.

Add Wet to Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gradually. Stir gently until just combined; some lumps are totally okay! Overmixing can make your muffins tough.

Toss in Chocolate Chips: Fold in those glorious chocolate chips carefully; you want them evenly distributed but not overworked in the batter.

Bake Your Muffins: Spoon the batter into each muffin cup until about three-quarters full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!

Now you’re ready to enjoy these delightful chocolate chocolate chip muffins! Let them cool slightly before devouring—if you can wait that long!
