Chocolate chip muffins are delicious treats that are great for breakfast or even as a dessert for after dinner. They are the perfect muffins for true chocolate lovers, as they are chocolate flavored and also loaded with chocolate chips. Make a batch of chocolate chip muffins and enjoy them when they are warm and gooey or at room temperature for a rich and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (359.9 ml) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (118.3 ml) cocoa powder
- 1 cup (236.59 ml) chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated ( 118.3 ml) white sugar
- 1½ teaspoons (7.39 ml) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (4.93 ml) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (2.46 ml) salt
- ¾ cup (177.45 ml) milk
- 1/3 cup (78.86 ml) vegetable or canola oil
- 1 large egg
Steps
Preparing the Batter
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Turn the oven up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and wait for it to preheat completely. Use the time that you’re waiting to make the muffin batter.
Mix the dry ingredients together. Pour the flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir all the ingredients together with a large spoon until they are all mixed together.[1]
Beat the egg. Break the egg into a small bowl, the use a fork to mix the egg. Make sure that the yolk and the egg white are completely blended.
Mix the wet ingredients together. Pour the beaten egg into a large bowl, then pour in the milk and oil. Whisk the ingredients together until they are all mixed.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix. Pour the dry ingredients that you just mixed little by little into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously. Stir until all the ingredients are just combined. Make sure not to over-stir, as this can change the consistency of the muffins.Advertisement
Baking the Muffins
Grease the muffin pan or insert muffin wrappers. Use a stick of butter or vegetable oil spray to spray the inside of each compartment of a 12-muffin pan. If you prefer to use paper or aluminum muffin wrappers, place one wrapper into each insert of the pan.- Greasing the pan ensures that the muffins won’t stick to the pan after they’ve baked.
- Using muffin wrappers lets you skip the process of greasing the pan and ensures that the muffins will come out of the pan easily after they’ve baked.
Pour the batter into the muffin pans. Carefully pour or spoon the muffin batter into each insert of the muffin tin until about two-thirds full. Try to distribute the batter equally so that each muffin is about the same size.[2]- Smooth the tops of the batter with a spoon if they’re uneven on top.
- You can also hold the muffin tin in each hand and shake it gently side to side to make sure that the batter lays flat in each insert.
Put extra chocolate chips and sparkling sugar on top. If you wish, sprinkle some chocolate chips and sparkling sugar on top of each compartment of batter. This will give the top of each muffin more texture and sweetness. You can skip this step if you want a more consistent texture for your muffins.[3]
Bake the muffins 18-22 minutes. Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. After 18 minutes, poke one muffin with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, take out the muffins. If not, keep checking every minute until the toothpick comes out completely clean.Advertisement
Serving the Muffins
Wait for the muffins to cool. Even if you want to enjoy the muffins warm, wait for a few minutes before taking them out of the muffin pan. Waiting for a bit helps the muffins to solidify and come out of the pan more easily.[4]
Place the muffin on a cooling rack. Use a knife to go around each muffin and the pan, then place the muffins on a cooling rack. If you used muffin wrappers, just lift each muffin out of the pan by the wrapper and place them on the cooling rack.
Serve the muffins. If you want to eat your muffins while they’re warm, take the muffins off the cooling rack and enjoy. If you prefer room temperature muffins that are slightly firmer, wait until they have completely cooled and enjoy.[5]
Store uneaten muffins in a closed container. To prevent the muffins from getting stale, store them in Tupperware or another airtight container.[6]Advertisement

To make chocolate muffins, mix all of the ingredients together to create the batter. Next, grease the muffin pan and pour the batter into it, filling each muffin cup about two-thirds of the way full. Try to distribute the batter equally so all of the muffins are about the same size, allowing them to bake evenly. If you want your muffins to have a crunchy texture, top them with extra chocolate chips and sparkling sugar, then pop the pan in the oven and bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes!
