Chocolate Muffins
My kids think that the Costco chocolate muffins are a food group (their favorite breakfast). When we run out, I can’t always drop everything and make a muffin run, so we started testing our own recipes at home. After several “almosts,” this one officially passed the kid‑approval meter.
Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and extra for sprinkling on top (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup full fat plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Spray a 12-count muffin pan with non-stick spray or use cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips together. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, oil, milk, and vanilla extract together until combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together with a silicone spatula.
- Spoon the batter into liners or greased muffin pan.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake for an additional 15-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool muffins for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack until fully cooled. Enjoy!
