Description
Delicious chocolate chip muffins that are moist and rich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 4 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla paste)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or muffin liners, or butter them.
- Melt 1 cup unsalted butter and 6 ounces semisweet chocolate in a heat or microwave-resistant bowl (I use glass). In the microwave, in short 15-second spurts mixing well between each one, or over boiling water, not touching the bottom of the bowl.
- Add ½ cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and mix well. Add 4 eggs, two at a time, and mix well but do not beat.
- Add sifted dry ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder. Mix well without beating.
- Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and mix. The batter will be shiny. Stir in half a cup of the chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with the remaining half of the chocolate chips, dividing evenly.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a tester or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Don’t overbake so they are as moist as possible. Let cool on a wire rack before eating.
- Keep leftovers covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 3 days and then refrigerate or wrap well and freeze.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- To enhance the flavor, try using a combination of dark and semisweet chocolate.
