2 MIN READ
- 01
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a muffin tray with paper liners and set it aside.

- 02
Add the flour and sugar into a mixing bowl.

- 03
Add the cocoa powder.

- 04
Add the salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

- 05
Add 3/4 of the chocolate chips and reserve the rest for topping. Mix to combine and set aside.

- 06
Add the eggs into another bowl.

- 07
Add the buttermilk or sour milk.
If you cannot get buttermilk, make sour milk. To make 1 cup of sour milk,
Add one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar into a 1-cup measuring cup, top it with milk, mix to combine, and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then use as needed.

- 08
Add the butter (melted and cooled) and oil.
Use only oil for super moist muffins, I added butter just because of flavour.

- 09
Add the vanilla essence and mix until it's combined.

- 10
Pour the wet ingredients into dry.

- 11
Use a spatula to mix just until it's smooth. Do not over mix.

- 12
Scoop batter into paper liners. You should get 15 muffins from this recipe.

- 13
Top with the leftover chocolate chips. Coat them with a bit of flour so they don't sink to the bottom.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 18 minutes.
- 14
Take out the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tray for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTES
Note
If you want domed muffins, bake at 425 F for 5 minutes, then turn down the oven temperature to 375 F for the rest of the baking.

ENJOY!
