Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 units large eggs
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup milk or dark chocolate chunks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and all of the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips on top of the batter for an extra decadent touch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
