Instructions

  2. For wet ingredients:In a large mixing bowl whisk eggs and add sugar. Mix until combined. Melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add butter in the egg-sugar mixture, then add milk, cream, oil and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
  3. For dry ingredients: In another large mixing bowl, sift all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. You can use a fine mesh strainer if you do not have a sifter. Using a whisk, mix all the dry ingredients until combined.
  4. Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Still using a whisk, gently mix until everything is incorporated.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and save the 1/4 cup for toppings.
  6. Scoop about 2 heaping tbsp of the batter mixture or filling each cup about 3/4 full.

  8. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20-22 minutes or until toothpick test comes out clean.

Notes

Tips and tricks:

  • Sifting the dry ingredients makes it more airy that gives this muffin almost like a cake like texture.
  • I usually bake for 18-20 minutes and do the toothpick check. If toothpick comes out clean, take it out from the oven. If toothpick is still wet with the batter mixture then let it cook in the oven for another 3-5 minutes.
  • I use silicone muffin liners all the time. It has excellent nonstick feature. You don't have to grease or use baking spray, which saves prep time. The baked goods came out effortlessly. The best part? you don't need to peel paper liners anymore.
