- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- Chocolate sprinkles for decoration(optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Add Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Cups:
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Top generously with chocolate sprinkles.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
8. Cool and Enjoy:
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, or enjoy warm.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Muffins:
- Quality Cocoa Powder: Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can result in dense muffins. Mix the batter until just combined.
