Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Slowly add the hot water to the batter and stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking, if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of the batter for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
