Ingredients Notes
You need these ingredients to make this moist chocolate muffin recipe:
- Flour: Use white all-purpose flour, which you can replace with plain flour or a gluten-free flour such as rice flour or oat flour.
- Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder to flavor the chocolate recipe.
- Yeast: A mixture of baking powder and baking soda is essential to make the batter rise and get that nice bump. If you don't have baking soda then use only baking powder.
- Salt and vanilla: To bring out all the flavors and perfume this recipe.
- Oil: For the fat, use only vegetable oil such as grape seed oil or canola oil. But if you prefer to use butter you can make a mixture of half oil and half melted butter.
- Sugar: A white sugar that you can replace with flavored sugar such as dark brown sugar or light brown sugar.
- Eggs: at room temperature
- Buttermilk: The acidity of the buttermilk gives these muffins their wonderful softness. You can replace it with whole milk or 2 % milk, full-fat greek yogurt, plain yogurt or sour cream.
- Chocolate chips: You can replace semisweet chocolate chips with semi-sweet chocolate chunks or use mini chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.

Thanks for the recipe, I just made it. The muffins are sublime
Thank you ❤️
These muffins must have been a hit.
Quite a lot of happy people at home when I make these chocolate muffins.
these muffins look TOP
Thanks for the recipe! But be careful with the cooking time: 15 minutes at 180 degrees is more than enough!
Thanks for your feedback, of course you can bake them at 180 degrees C. The cooking time will depend on the size and quantity of batter, but the cooking instructions here are correct, a high temperature so that they develop well at the beginning of cooking and have large muffins.
