The best double chocolate muffins ever! Super moist, super chocolatey perfections, and they are ready in 45 minutes.
Last weekend I had to study for a lot of tests, so I wanted to make a fast recipe packed with a ton of chocolate, because you need chocolate for studying. Muffins are most of the time quite simple, so I decided to make some double chocolate ones! Good decision Gabo of the past, really good decision!
These muffins are so easy to make, you literally need two bowls, a spoon and a spatula. I adopted the recipe from the Averie cooks blog. They turned out incredible.
First, you mix together the dry ingredients, then in a separate bowl you whisk together the wet ones. Then everything goes together. The key is not to over mix them, just fold the two mixture together until there is no more dry flour pieces.
I used some paper liner in my muffin tins, because they are quite old now and I don’t like to use them without paper. But as in Averie's post you can use some cooking spray, just make sure it’s well coated.
I filled the cups almost to the top to get the domed tops and at the end I had 15 muffins. But next time I’ll evenly spread the batter into only 12 muffin cups so they will be a little bit bigger.
I think this is a go-to chocolate muffin recipe for any time when you need something sweet in an hour. These muffins are full of chocolate chips. They are moist, a little bit fudgy and perfectly sweet.
