Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 0.25 cup additional chocolate chunks for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chocolate chunks gently to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chunks on top for extra decadence.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for the ultimate gooey chocolate experience or at room temperature for a perfectly rich treat.
