I'm having a really hard time with this Chocolate Muffins recipe. Most people will have a muffin for breakfast. But these muffins are almost cake-like in texture so shouldn't they be served as a dessert?
My wife's side of the family likes to eat dessert before their meal. Not for religious beliefs or anything like that. Just because they have a sweet tooth. And well why the hell not!
That being said, who cares when you eat these chocolate muffins. These muffins are so delicious that you can eat them whenever you feel like it! For breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or just a snack. It doesn't matter.

These muffins are superb. So easy to make and so moist. I used milk chocolate chips as these are my favorite. I brought them to a school function and they were a big hit. This recipe surprised me with how tasty they were. This recipe is a keeper for sure.
