How to make the perfect Double Chocolate Muffins
- Don’t over-mix the batter! This is my BEST TIP for the perfect fluffy muffins every single time! If you’re left with muffins that are closer in texture to hockey pucks, it’s almost certainly because you mixed the batter too vigorously and for too long. Be gentle with the batter once you add the dry ingredients and stir only until the flour just barely disappears. Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula and mix by hand to avoid over-mixing. Making muffins with a stand mixer or a hand mixer almost ALWAYS ensures you’ll over-mix, so making them by hand is the way to go!!
- Bake quickly! The leavening agent in muffins is usually baking powder (sometimes with baking soda), which acts quickly as soon as the liquid and dry ingredients come together. To get fluffy muffins with the nice dome shape on top, get them in the oven as fast as you can after mixing.
- Let them cool! No one likes a gummy muffin that’s underdone on the inside. Let the muffins cool until they’re almost room temperature before digging in, since they continue baking on the inside even after they’ve been removed from the oven.
- Use good quality chocolate chips! Good quality chocolate chips or chunks always taste better in muffins like these!

Delicious!!! I added peanut butter chips and they were so soft and chocolatey!! Best chocolate muffins EVER!
That sounds like a great addition to the muffins, Malak. 🙂
Divine. Luckily, I started intermittent fasting last week so I’ m only going to be eating them from 12-6 pm or I could be eating them all day long. Excellent when done as muffins. I didn´t have enough paper liners so I put the mixture into two loaf tins and those needed more time. Definitely a recipe to keep.
Can I add walnuts without having to adjust the recipe?
You can indeed add up to one cup of walnuts without having to adjust the recipe.
These were great! So simple and so deliciously rich. I love how it’s with staple ingredients and the prep is basically impossible to go wrong. Thank you!
Hands down best muffins! I substitute 1/2 cup honey for sugar and 1/4 cup applesauce for oil 😋🥰
I made these tonight and they where not light and fluffy like they should have been what did I do wrong
If your ingredients were measured accurately, the muffins were likely over-mixed. Mix just until no streaks of flour remain. Let us know if you have more questions!
I use this recipe a lot for my business I turn it into cupcakes for the kids birthday parties
they were alright. not super convienced, will try another recipe next time.
I made these with gluten free (GF) flour (Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1), and 1/4 cup almond milk + 3/4 cup water instead of milk (I ran out of almond milk otherwise would have done the whole cup!). Baked for 25 minutes in electric oven. They turned out delicious! Great texture. Well cooked but moist on the inside. Just in case anyone else is looking to make these GF and DF 🙂
That sounds amazing! Good to know they can easily be made gluten free and dairy free. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
My muffins turned out pretty good! A wonderful recipe. Thank you! 🙂
Looks yummy! Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Excellent recipe and soooo easy to make. It’s my family’s new favorite muffin recipe 👍
This is my go to recipe for double choc chip muffins. It is so simple, only uses 2 bowls, so minimal washing up and always results in fabulous muffins.
Does this use unsweetened or sweetened cocoa powder?
Hi! Does this use unsweetened or sweetened cocoa powder?
Made them, easy to make but 1 Tablespoon baking powder seems to be to much that’s all I can taste
