Ingredients
Scale
For the muffins:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
For the chocolate drizzle:
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- Make the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Add the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake the muffins: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Prepare the chocolate drizzle: While the muffins are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate: Once the muffins are cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each muffin for an extra chocolatey touch.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra touch, add a handful of white chocolate chips along with the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
- These muffins are best enjoyed the same day, but they will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
- You can freeze these muffins for up to 3 months if you want to make them in advance.
