Ingredients

Scale

1 and 3/4 cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (45 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup (135 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the chocolate muffin cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
