Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and melted dark chocolate until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mixed berries carefully.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Optionally sprinkle extra chocolate chips or coarse sugar on top.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Frozen berries can be used directly from the freezer without thawing.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins soft and tender.
- Dark chocolate gives the muffins a deeper flavor, while milk chocolate creates a sweeter taste.
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- White chocolate chips pair wonderfully with the berries.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months.
