Chocolate Muffin Ingredients

• Eggs: use large eggs that are at room temperature
• Vegetable oil – used instead of butter; creates a moist muffin
• Sugar – use granulated sugar
• Milk – use full-fat milk for best results
• Flour – use all-purpose flour, not cake flour
• Cocoa powder – use natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
• Baking powder – use baking powder, and not baking soda!
• Chocolate – use any chocolate bar (cut into cubes) for the center of the muffin

Tips

The number one tip for making moist muffins is to not overmix! This will lead to a tough, dense muffin instead of one that’s light and fluffy. Once you’ve mixed the sugar and eggs until foamy, whisk in the dry ingredients gently without overmixing.

Use room temperature ingredients for best results.

For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-process cocoa powder. Dutch process cocoa powder is made by washing the cocoa beans in an alkaline solution, which neutralizes the acidity. This makes the chocolate darker in color, and gives it a better flavor.

Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the muffin batter to accentuate the chocolate flavor! Don’t worry, you won’t taste the coffee!

To test if your baking powder is still active, mix a cup of hot water with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. If it fizzes immediately, it’s active. If not, it’s time to buy new baking powder!

To ensure easy removal from the muffin tin, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes before you attempt to remove them. You can also use cupcake paper cases.

Instead of white chocolate, you can also add a bit of blueberry jam, caramel, or Nutella to the center.

How to Store Quick Chocolate Muffins

These Quick Chocolate Muffins will freeze well. Simply wrap the individual muffins tightly with cling wrap and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or thaw at 50% power in the microwave. You can also store them at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
