Chocolate Muffin Ingredients
Eggs: use large eggs at room temperature
Vegetable oil – used in place of butter; creates a soft muffin
Sugar – use granulated sugar
Milk – use whole milk for best results
Flour – use all-purpose flour, not cake flour
Cocoa powder – use natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
Baking powder – use baking powder, not baking soda!
Chocolate – use any chocolate bar (cut into cubes) for the center of the muffin
Advice
The number one tip for making fluffy muffins is to not overmix! This will result in a hard, dense muffin instead of a light, fluffy muffin. Once you have mixed the sugar and eggs until foamy, gently fold in the dry ingredients without overmixing.
Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Dutch cocoa powder is made by washing cocoa beans in an alkaline solution, which neutralizes the acidity. This makes the chocolate darker and gives it a better flavor.
Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the muffin batter to accentuate the chocolate flavor! Don’t worry, you won’t taste the coffee!
To test if your baking powder is still active, mix a cup of warm water with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. If it fizzes immediately, it is active. If not, it’s time to buy some new baking powder!
To ensure easy removal from the muffin pan, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before attempting to remove them. You can also use paper cupcake liners.
Instead of white chocolate, you can also add a little blueberry jam, caramel or Nutella to the center.
