What is a chocolate muffin?

Chocolate muffins are a single-serving quick bread made with a batter containing flour, egg, milk, cocoa powder, chocolate chunks (or chips) and a chemical leavening agent, such as baking soda, baking powder or both. Chocolate muffins are slightly sweet and savory in taste with a slightly fudge-like center. The muffins can also include a variety of tasty mix-ins, such as orange zest, nuts or raspberries to name a few. 

What’s the difference between a chocolate muffin and a chocolate cupcake?

Chocolate muffins and chocolate cupcakes are very similar – they’re both made of a batter containing flour, egg and chemical leavening agents; however, there are slight variations between the two that make them very different!

  • Flour: Chocolate muffins can be made with a variety of flours, from all purpose to pastry flour, while chocolate cupcakes are typically made exclusively with cake flour.
  • Ingredient Ratio:
    • Flour: There is typically more flour in a muffin recipe than a cupcake recipe – this gives cupcakes a denser texture.
    • Milk: Cupcakes are generally made with very little to no milk, while muffins have a relatively large proportion of dairy, such as buttermilk, milk, yogurt or sour cream.
    • Sugar: Sugars are one of the main ingredients in cupcakes, muffins on the other hand, have significantly less sugar.
  • Mixing: Cupcakes are made by creaming together butter a sugar. Muffins, of the other hand, are made by whisking and folding ingredients together.
  • Batter: The slight differences in ingredient proportions and the mixing methods (both listed above) cause cupcake and muffin batter to be extremely different. Muffin batter is thick and and slightly lumpy, while cupcake batter is thin and smooth.
  •  Taste: Due to the difference in sugar ratios, cupcakes are very sweet in taste, while muffins are a mix of sweet and savory
  • Texture: While cupcakes are light and airy with a fine crumb, muffins are much heavier with a coarser crumb structure.
  • Baking: Muffins are typically baked at a higher temperature to facilitate lifting and crusting of the top. Cupcakes are typically baked at a lower temperature.
  • Meal: It’s socially acceptable to enjoy a chocolate muffin for any meal or snack of the day, while cupcakes are classified as a dessert.

Ingredients in chocolate muffins?

While these muffins are made from scratch, they only require a few pantry staples along with a few simple, easy-to-find ingredients!

  • Flour: All-purpose flour is the foundation of this muffin recipe. Flour helps the batter remain sturdy and thick
  • Cocoa Powder: Cocoa powder adds a depth of chocolate flavor that can’t be beat! Make sure you use natural unsweetened cocoa powder!
  • Baking Soda: This chemical leavening agent provides lift and helps the muffins rise.
  • Salt: A touch of coarse kosher salt enhances all the flavors!
  • Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds a touch of warm, inviting flavor:
  • Coffee: Instant coffee or espresso powder is a secret ingredient that takes these muffins to the next level! It perfectly complements the chocolate in these muffins, so don’t skip it! You can find instant powder in the coffee aisle of most major grocery stores.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter provides moisture and fat which creates a tender muffin.
  • Sugar: Granulated sugar adds a touch of sweetness while also keeping the muffins light.
  • Milk: Buttermilk provides even more moisture and helps lighten up the muffins crumb.
  • Eggs: Two large eggs give the muffins structure and moisture while binding everything together.
  • Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract adds even more flavor!
  • Yogurt: Greek yogurt helps keep the muffins ultra-moist, soft and tender. You can substitute full fat sour cream if you prefer.
  • Chocolate: I really love using a bar of chocolate and roughly chopping it to create generous chunks; however, you can use chocolate chips if you would like! Both semi-sweet and dark chocolate work great in these muffins!

Variations

Want to make some changes to these bakery-style muffins? Go for it! Get creative in the kitchen and create chocolate muffins chock full of ingredients you and your family love! Below are a few ideas to get you started!

  • Gluten-free: You can substitute gluten-free flour if you would like, just make sure you look for brands that can be substituted in a 1:1 ratio for regular flour.
  • Nuts: Love the combination of chocolate and nuts? Substitute some of the chocolate chunks for your favorite variety of nuts! For the best flavor, I recommend toasting your nuts before adding them to the muffins batter.
  • Chocolate: Try using different types of chocolate chips or use a combination of chocolates! For example, use a mix of white and dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet and dark chocolates!
  • Peanut Butter: Chocolate and peanut butter is a match made in heaven! Swap out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips!
  • Extract: Did you just run out of vanilla extract? Now’s the perfect time to play around with these muffins! Try using almond extract and folding some slivered almonds into the batter!
  • Orange: Chocolate and orange is a classic combination! Zest one or two oranges and add it to the batter when you add the yogurt!
  • Jumbo Muffins: Do you think bigger is better? Yeah, me too! Turn these standard muffins into jumbo muffins! Follow the recipe instructions below, baking for 5 minutes at 425°F Reduce oven to 350°F and bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

How to make chocolate muffins from scratch?

This easy chocolate muffin recipe is fool-proof to prepare! The muffin batter comes together in 10 minutes, so these bakery-style beauties are perfect whenever your chocolate craving strikes!

Tip: Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature. Room temperature ingredients bond together more easily than cold ingredients, resulting in an evenly textured and smooth batter.

(Don’t forget to scroll down for the detailed measurements in the complete printable recipe at the bottom of the page.)

  1. Melt the butter: Place the butter in a medium heat-proof bowl. Microwave until just melted. Set aside to cool.
  2. Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  3. Wet ingredients: Whisk the butter until creamy and smooth. Add the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the yogurt.
  4. Add wet to dry: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold until everything is just combined.
  5. Add the chocolate: Add the chocolate chunks to the batter. Fold to combine – the batter should be thick.
  6. Fill muffin tins: Divide the batter among muffin tins, filling each all the way to the top. Optional: Sprinkle chocolate chunks or chips on top of the batter. Use your fingers to very gently press the chips into the batter.
  7. Bake: Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F. Keeping the oven door closed, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean – a few fudgy crumbs is fine.
  8. Cool: Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Remove muffins from tins and transfer to the wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve: Serve the muffins plain, slather them with butter or sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Troubleshooting and tips for the best double chocolate muffins

Before you bust out your mixing bowls and crank up your oven, read the easy tips and tricks below to ensure your chocolate muffins turn out perfect every single time!

How do you make tall, domed muffin tops?

There are a few essential steps to creating that beautiful sky-high dome on your chocolate yogurt muffins!

  • Fill muffin tins to the top: In order for your chocolate muffins to have a beautiful, tall, domed top you must properly fill the muffin tins. Make sure you fill them almost all the way to the top – obviously don’t overfill them – but fill them all the way up. This recipe relies on an initial burst of high heat and if you under-fill them the muffins won’t bake up tall! Tip: Use an ice cream scoop or cookie dough scoop to equally measure and divide the batter in between each muffin tin!
  • Initial blast of heat: The secret to perfectly domed muffin tops is to blast the muffin batter with high heat for the first 5 minutes before reducing the oven temperature to finish baking. The initial high heat triggers steam in the muffins to rapidly release, which lifts the muffins quickly and creates that desirable dome shape.

Why are my chocolate muffins dry?

Nothing is sadder than a dry, dense muffin! Follow the simple tricks below to ensure your muffins always turn out fudgy and moist!

  • Improperly measuring flour: This may seem obvious, but properly measuring your flour is key to moist muffins! If you add too much flour, they muffins will come out too dense and dry. To properly measure flour, use a large spoon to lightly ladle the flour into your measuring cup. Next, use the flat, straight edge of a butter knife (or similar object) to level off the top of the flour. Never pack the flour into your measuring cup!
  • Over-mixing: Do not over mix the batter when combining the wet and dry ingredients! Mixing muffin batter causes gluten to develop. By over-mix you are over-developing the gluten which will cause your better to be dense and in turn your chocolate muffin will be tough and dry! However, you want there to be just enough gluten, so the muffins are tender and moist. When mixing, make sure you gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until they are just combined – the batter should be lumpy and not smooth!
  • Using the wrong milk: The milk in the batter helps lighten the muffins crumb and keeps the muffins moist. Using skim, 1% or 2 % milk will cause your muffins to be dry. For the moistest texture, use buttermilk, but at the very least, make sure you are using whole milk! Tip: You can easily make your own buttermilk by combining ½ cup of whole milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or fresh lemon juice and let sit on the counter for 20 minutes before using.
  • Overbaking: Both underbaking and overbaking your muffins will have dire results for your muffins. Underbaking will cause your muffins to be uncooked at the center. However, overbaking will transform perfectly moist and fluffy muffins into a dry hockey puck. Every oven is different, so make sure you use a toothpick to test the muffins for doneness. Bake your chocolate muffins until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean – a few fudgy crumbs on the toothpick are fine!
  • Leaving muffins too long in the pan to cool: As muffins sit in the hot muffin tins the residual heat releases steam, which helps the muffin crumb absorb some moisture. However, that residual heat will also continue to cook your muffins! If you leave the muffins in the hot baking tray longer than a few minutes you will end up with dry muffins! Always make sure you take the muffins out of the baking tins after 5 minutes and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack!

Tips for the best double chocolate muffins

Below are a few easy tips to creating bakery-style chocolate yogurt muffins at home!

  • Sift your cocoa powder: Cocoa powder is especially lumpy and clumpy. When measuring, use a fork to fluff the cocoa powder before adding it to your measuring cup. Then, make sure you sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the remaining ingredients. If you don’t sift the cocoa powder you will end up with dry, dense spots in your muffins!
  • Use the muffin method: The muffin method for mixing batter helps to create a better muffin! Make sure you mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another. Then, mix the two together until just combined.
  • Do not over mix: I went into detail on this above – remember not to over mix the batter. Mix the dry and wet ingredients until they are just combined – the batter should be a bit lumpy!
  • Line or grease the muffin tins: To ensure your muffins easily release in one beautiful piece, be sure you use a muffin liner or grease the cups before adding the batter.
  • Fill the muffin tins all the way up: In order to have a domed muffin top, you must fill the muffin tins all the way up!
  • Start with a blast of heat: To help the chocolate muffins rise quickly and develop the perfect tall, domed top – bake the muffins for 5 minutes at a heat of 425°F. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for 15-17 minutes. The initial blast of heat lifts the muffins quickly, so do not skip this step!

Tips for serving chocolate chunk muffins

Need some new and exciting ways to serve your muffins? From slathering them with Nutella to serving them with breakfast wraps, there are plenty of delicious ways to jazz up your chocolate muffins or turn them into a full-blown brunch!

How to serve muffins?

These double chocolate muffins are incredibly versatile! They’re perfect as a grab-and-go breakfast treat and part of a brunch spread, or they make a wonderful afternoon snacking and easy sweet dessert!

Chocolate chip muffins are at their best when you serve them freshly baked and warm straight from the oven! However, they are also delicious at room temperature or slightly toasted in the oven!

You can enjoy these rich and slightly fudgy muffins plain or try sprinkling on some confectioner’s sugar. Or slice them in half and smear them with soft butter, cream cheese or peanut butter! If you are serving chocolate muffins for dessert, try slathering them with cookie butter a hazelnut spread, such as Nutella! No matter how you serve these chocolate muffins, I guarantee they will quickly become a family favorite!

What to serve with double chocolate muffins?

Fudgy chocolate muffins are hearty and filling enough to serve as a stand-alone breakfast; however, you can also serve them as part of a breakfast or brunch spread! See below for some of my family’s favorite things to eat with muffins!

  • Fruit: Keep things light by serving muffins with your favorite seasonal fresh fruit. We love the combination of chocolate muffins with fresh strawberries, rasperries, cherries, oranges or blackberries.
  • Cottage Cheese: A cup of your creamy cottage cheese is a great way to balance out your muffin breakfast! Try adding a dollop of jam for a touch of fruity flavor!
  • Yogurt: Not a fan of cottage cheese? Serve your muffins with your favorite flavor of yogurt! We love the pairing of vanilla, blueberry or strawberry yogurt with chocolate muffins!
  • Smoothie: Nutrient-rich smoothies are a great light pairing option for muffins!
  • Nuts: A bag of heart-healthy nuts are the perfect way to keep your muffin breakfast grab-and-go!
  • Granola: Crunchy granola offers a delicious textural contrast to sky high muffins!
  • Breakfast Cookies: Because breakfast cookies and muffins are the perfect way to start your day!
  • Overnight Oats: Creamy overnight oats are perfect if you are looking for a hearty, yet healthy breakfast option!
  • Eggs: Add some protein to your breakfast by making your favorite style of eggs!
  • Breakfast Meats: Do you have a meat eater in your family? Serve your muffins with a side of ham, sausage, Canadian bacon or crispy bacon!

Tips for storing and freezing homemade double chocolate muffins

How long will chocolate muffins keep?

You do not need to store leftover double chocolate muffins in the refrigerator. You can store the muffins at room temperature for 3-4 days. Alternatively, muffins can be refrigerated for up to 10 days, or frozen to extend their shelf life.

To store muffins: Before storing, make sure you allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack. Transfer the muffins to an airtight container lined with a sheet of paper towel. Arrange the cooled muffins in a single layer and cover the top with another sheet of paper towel before sealing the container with a tight-fitting lid. Pro-tip: The paper towels will absorb the excess moisture from the muffins and allow them to stay fresher for longer.

Can you freeze chocolate chip muffins?

These muffins freeze beautifully, making them the perfect treat to have on hand for rainy days or easy breakfasts on the go!

To freeze muffins: Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap. Transfer the wrapped muffins to a freezer-safe resealable bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

When ready to eat: Thaw muffins at room temperature on the counter. For the best fudgy texture, I recommend reheating the muffins (see below for details)!

How do you reheat muffins?

These chocolate chunk muffins are at their fudgy best when reheated!

  • Oven (recommended method): Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F. Reheat muffins until warm throughout or slightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Microwave (quick method): Alternatively, you can reheat muffins in the microwave (one at a time). Microwave at 50% power until slightly warm throughout, about 45 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds depending on the strength of your microwave. I recommend microwaving the muffins in 30 second intervals, this way you can avoid over-microwaving the muffins which will cause them to become hard and unappetizing!

Notes

  1. Flour: Make sure you properly measure and level all your ingredients, especially the flour! To do so, use a spoon to scoop the flour into a measuring cup. Do not pack the flour down. Use the flat edge of a knife to gently and evenly level the flour.
  2. Cocoa Powder: Make sure you use natural unsweetened cocoa powder!
  3. Sift your cocoa powder: Cocoa powder is especially lumpy and clumpy. When measuring, use a fork to fluff the cocoa powder before adding it to your measuring cup. Then, make sure you sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the remaining ingredients. If you don’t sift the cocoa powder you will end up with dry, dense spots in your muffins!
  4. To make your own buttermilk: Mix ½ cup of whole milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or fresh lemon juice. Let the mixture sit on the counter at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before using.
  5. Storage: Cover and store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Muffins can also be stored in the refrigerator for 10 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat room temperature muffins in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F for 4-6 minutes, or until warm through.
