Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup ground flaxseed
• 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground flaxseed, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture into the well. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your moist and chocolatey flax muffins as a healthy yet indulgent treat!
