Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until it’s thick and creamy. Next, add in the milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract, continue stirring until smooth.
4. Gently fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and give everything one final stir, making sure not to over mix.
5. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full. For a little extra chocolatey surprise, sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top.
6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then move to a wire rack to cool entirely.

Voila! Now you’ve successfully baked a batch of the most delicious and moist chocolate muffins. These muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast treat, a dessert after dinner, or on their own for a midday snack.

Remember, the best part about a muffin is biting into it while it is still warm so the chocolate chips are all melty and gooey. So, don’t wait too long before you take your first bite!
