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!

I tried making these and they turned out AMAZING! I will absolutely be making more.
I’m so happy you enjoyed them! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
So delicious and rich. They got even better and moister overnight. Will be in my regular rotation!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the muffins! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
I’ve made these muffins so many times now and they are amazing! Everyone in my family loves them. I’ve tried other chocolate muffin recipes but I always come back to this one! Highly recommend!
I’m so happy you are enjoying the recipe! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
They were amazing best recipe I’ve tried yet!! Just from past experience I always add an extra 1/4 of oil to make them extra moist and it worked out perfectly!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying our recipe!
I’ve used this recipe many times now and it’s worked out every time. I have used g/f flour, plant milks, egg replacers, and butters instead of oil on various occasions and they have turned out just as good as the listed recipes. I’ve even used watered down yoghurt and cream in place of milk when I have run out. Can’t recommend enough.
Thanks so much for the comment Belinda, so happy to hear you like the recipe!!
Loved the recipe! Followed the recipe for only a dozen of muffins but ended up with more than that but it’s ok because they were eaten 😋
Thanks so much for the comment Debbie, so happy to hear you like the recipe!!
Would love to know the calories per a muffin if anyone knows? They are delicious!
There’s 260 kcal per muffin.You can scroll to the bottom of the recipe card where there’s a nutrition tab. If you click on the little arrow on the right, it will display all the nutritional information about the recipe. Hope this helps!
I loved these muffins. They are the perfect amount of sweetness – I like these way better than chocolate cake. They are not overly sweet because of the cocoa, and I love the chewy little pieces of chocolate chip once the muffins cool down. Excellent recipe!
So happy to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
Can I add chopped nuts such as pecan or walnuts to the recipe? If so, where and when should these be added?
Yes, you totally can. Feel free to add them when you mix the wet and dry ingredients saving some to put on top of your muffins.
hi, my family is gluten free, do you think there is any sub for the flour?
Any gluten free flour that performs similarly to AP flour would work.
It was very good ( I don’t think my first comment went through)
Thanks for your feedback, Katie!
Is it whole milk or semi skimmed milk?
Either one would work.
Table spoon of baking powder ?
Yes, that’s what it calls for.
Im about to make them but only have goat milk. Do u think it’s ok to use that?
Yes, it should work.
The batter was a bit runny, but the muffins turned out perfect! I added 1tsp instant coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Yes, that is the way this recipe works ☺️ We’re glad to hear that you liked them. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
Can the milk be replaced with Chocolate milk? I have extra and I’m unsure what to do with it.
Yes it can, and i’m pretty sure that would qualify this recipe as triple chocolate muffins 😂 Happy baking!
Hi, so could I substitute the milk and cocoa powder by just using Chocolate milk?
Hello, you could substitute the milk with chocolate milk if you’re trying to use up chocolate milk, but I’d still advise you to use cocoa powder.
This is best muffins ever ❤️, thanks for the amazing recipe
Thank you Gloria!
Made these ahead of time to freeze to take on a road trip next week. Unfortunately they were so good they didn’t make it into the freezer so now I have to make a second batch 😅
Ahhahahahah! So glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Great recipe! Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! We’re happy you enjoyed our recipe.
