    These Chocolate Muffins are great for breakfast, a snack or even dessert. These muffins are topped with a bit of sugar for more sweetness.

    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!

    📋 What Ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Chocolate Muffin recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Cocoa Powder, All Purpose Flour, Light Brown Sugar, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt, Chocolate Chips, Eggs, Milk, Vanilla Extract, White Vinegar and Unsalted Butter.

    🥣 How to make Chocolate Muffins

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
    In a large measuring cup or medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and vinegar. Add the wet ingredients, along with the melted butter, to the dry ingredients, stirring to blend; there's no need to beat these muffins, just make sure everything is well-combined.
    Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan; the cups will be heaped with batter, and the muffin will bake into a "mushroom" shape. Sprinkle with sugar (optional).
    Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

      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.
