How to make perfect Double Chocolate Muffins
Recipe prep. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin pan with muffin or cupcake liners and set it aside.
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ¾ cup of chocolate chips to a large bowl and mix.
Combine the wet ingredients. Place the eggs in another large bowl and whisk to combine. Then, add the yogurt, vanilla extract, and oil and whisk again.
Incorporate the dry and wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Bake. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin liners. Bake your chocolate muffins for 20-22 minutes, or use the toothpick trick to determine whether they are fully baked. Insert a toothpick into the center of several muffins. When it comes out clean, you can remove them from the oven.
Cool. Allow your muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, place them on a cooling rack so that they don’t become soggy on the bottoms.
Pro tips:
- Store your double chocolate muffins recipe in an airtight container or sealed bag at room temperature. They will keep for up to 4 days. You can also extend their shelf life by storing them in the fridge, where they will keep for 7 days. Keep in mind that they may become a bit hard as time goes on.
- You can also freeze this double chocolate muffins recipe! Place muffins in an airtight freezer-safe container, and they will last for up to 3 months. To reheat them, wrap each muffin in aluminum foil and warm them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F. You can also reheat them in the microwave for 60-120 seconds — don’t wrap them in foil if using the microwave.
Frequently asked Questions about Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
How do I get my chocolate chip muffins recipe to rise higher?
If you want to make taller muffins, start by baking at a high temperature (400 degrees F) for the first 5 minutes.
