Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks, reserving a few pieces to sprinkle on top of the muffins if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top of the muffins if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
