DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS 
2 c. all-purpose or pastry flour
1 c. unsweetened cocoa
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 lg. egg or 2 egg yolks
1 c. whole milk
1/2 c. (salted) butter, melted
1 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips

When making any kind of muffin, it's important not to over-mix the batter to keep them from becoming dry. Do most of the mixing before the flour is added. Then be careful not to over-bake.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, unsweetened cocoa, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

In a medium bowl, whisk egg, milk and melted butter.

Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips and beat only until mixed (30 seconds).

Fill greased and floured muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Paper muffin liners are optional.

Bake in preheated oven at 400°F about 20 minutes.

Yield: 12 muffins

Variations: Add 1/2 teaspoon each of rum or vanilla and/or Jamaican allspice. Add chocolate chunks or peanut butter chips.

Double Chocolate Muffins

Never made double chocolate muffins before so I didn't expect much from an online recipe (I located in less than 30 seconds). The only chocolate muffins I had ever eaten were from coffee shops, and were quite good in my opinion. This recipe turned out to be quite comparable to any double chocolate muffin I ever ate! Muffins were soft, and moist, and the amount of chocolate taste was almost perfect. Satisfied my craving for a chocolate dessert very well. Didn't rate it a 5 because it wasn't the BEST double chocolate muffin I had ever had. Well worth the effort though.

I'm in my last summer before I head out to college and needed something to do, so I threw myself into baking. I came across this recipe randomly and decided to try it out on a whim. But these muffins came out as good as any store bought or bakery muffins I have ever had. I loved them, and as an eighteen year old can tell you they are the easiest things to make. One thing I noticed though is that mine yielded twenty-two muffins and I only had to bake them for fifteen minutes. My muffin tin was probably smaller, also I used normal sized semi-sweet chocolate chips. But other than that I followed the recipe to a "T" and will be making these A LOT. ;D

I find it better if you add the chocolate chips into the dry ingredients first, because then they do not fall to the bottom and are evenly spread out. Good recipe :D

Remember not to mix it too much. The more you mix it the more gluten is made, the more gluten is made the tougher they are.

These need vanilla, which I added. Other than that, I made exactly as written. Although the flavor was decent, the wet to dry ingredients ratio was off, resulting in a dry muffin. If I bake them again, I will decrease flour by 1/2 cup, and perhaps add another egg. I like that these muffins actually had a deep chocolate taste, though,due to the full cup of cocoa.
