Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. In one bowl, leave the batter as is for the vanilla flavor. In the second bowl, make a chocolate batter by whisking together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Then, stir this mixture into the second bowl of batter.
Step 6
To create a marbled effect, alternate spoonfuls of vanilla batter and chocolate batter into each muffin cup. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled design, being careful not to overmix.
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Twin Mountain Muffins!
