Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.3 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, chili powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense muffins.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these marvelous muffins slightly warm or at room temperature. They're excellent on their own or paired with a cup of coffee or tea!
