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!

For the milk., could I use buttermilk? thank you!
The Busy Baker says
Buttermilk would be too thick but you could try substituting the milk with 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1/2 cup water. However, I recommend following the recipe as is written for best results. Happy baking! ☺️

I have to say that this is the best chocolate muffin recipe I have ever used. I am not a professional Baker but I love to bake. And not only that I’m not a fan of muffins because I don’t like the bottom part. But I try these out on my muffin top pan and they turned out absolutely perfect. Like Muffin Top heaven LOL

Timothy J Perkins says
I enjoyed baking these muffins BUT they came out a bit dry. I used a gas stove that was recently celebrated. I baked them for 22 minutes. I’d like to give them another try, what do you suggest. Thanks much.
The Busy Baker Team says
You should be careful not to over mix them and maybe check if they’re baked after 20 minutes using the toothpick test! Hope this helps!
Sharon says

Great recipe. Simple and delicious. The hardest part was deciding if I should pair this with an ice cold glass of milk or a nice deep merlot. The merlot won!

Ciao, ho difficoltà a capire le dosi. Mi confermi che quando dici una tazza vuol dire 236 gr? Grazie
The Busy Baker Team says
Sotto l’elenco degli ingredienti c’è un pulsante “metrico” che converte automaticamente le misure in grammi.(Under the ingredients list there is a “metric” button that will automatically convert the measurements to grams) Hope this helps!
Carrie-Lynn Saville says
I love making mini muffins for the kids. Do you know how long I bake them for using mini muffin tins? Looking forward to doing this tomorrow with my 12 year old son who is obsessed with chocolate cake
The Busy Baker Team says
Mini muffins usually bake in 10-15 min. We suggest you check them with a toothpick at 10 minutes and only give them more time if needed. Hope this helps! ☺️ Let us know how they turn out!
Ian says
hey! can i use sunflower oil instead of veg oil?
The Busy Baker Team says
Yes!
Sandy says
Love these muffins. Very light and not overly sweet.
These are now the standard to share with all my chocoholic friends!
The Busy Baker Team says
We’re so happy you enjoyed them! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
LeAnn Morgan says
These were delicious but dry. Disappointed.
The Busy Baker Team says
The two main causes for dry muffins are over-mixing and over baking. We suggest you only mix the wet and dry ingredients just until they are incorporated (until no streaks of flour remain) and keep a close eye on them in the oven.
DANIELLE says
Exactly that I want! Just perfect!

How long do I bake for jumbo muffins?
Ana (The Busy Baker Team) says
We’ve never made these in jumbo muffin tins but my suggestion is that you give them 5 more minutes and then insert a toothpick in the middle of the muffins. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re done, if not, bake them until the toothpick comes out clean.
