Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins are a family favorite! Sweet but not too sweet, they are great for breakfasts on the go or afternoon snacks. 

Muffins are always a great on the go breakfast or afternoon snack. When they are loaded with chocolate, they are even better. These Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins are always a hit.

And it’s easy to see why.

Tips for making chocolate chocolate chip muffins:

I have been testing these muffins for awhile now. My kids LOVE it because it means that they get chocolate chip muffins for breakfast pretty much every day.

During all of this recipe testing, I have learned a few things about about making perfectly moist chocolate chocolate chip muffins:

Tip #1: Melting chocolate with the butter works better than mixing the butter with cocoa powder. When I tried the recipe with cocoa powder, the muffins were a bit on the dry side.

Tip #2: To make the muffins even more moist, in addition to the milk, I add sour cream.

Tip #3: Much like Easy Blueberry Muffins, one key to making perfect muffins is to mix the batter just until the batter comes together. It will still be a bit lumpy but if you over mix it, you will also end up with dry muffins.

Tip #4: Baking the muffins at 400 degrees for the first 5 minutes and then reducing the heat to 375 degrees for another 12 – 15 minutes, ensures that the muffins are higher and have a slight crunch to the top.

Tip #5: To ensure that the muffins stay fresh, store in an airtight container.

Can you freeze chocolate chocolate chip muffins:

Yes! Muffins freeze well. Simply wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, thaw them at room temperature. If you don’t have time for that, simply remove the plastic wrap, place them on a napkin and microwave them for about 30 seconds.
