Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
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 the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
