Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. In one bowl, leave the batter as is for the vanilla flavor. In the second bowl, make a chocolate batter by whisking together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Then, stir this mixture into the second bowl of batter.
To create a marbled effect, alternate spoonfuls of vanilla batter and chocolate batter into each muffin cup. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled design, being careful not to overmix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Twin Mountain Muffins!
