Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.33 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cups mixed fresh fruit (e.g., blueberries, chopped strawberries, or diced bananas)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sieve together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and mixed fresh fruit gently to distribute them throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
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 (not wet batter).
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Chocolate Fruit Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
