Mocha Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

I was in the mood to make muffins today! The texture of these muffins is nice and fluffy, not dense at all. And they're super easy, too! I got 18 smaller muffins, but you could fill the cups more and get 12 bigger ones if you wanted to.



Mocha Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
Adapted from Foodaphilia
Makes 12-18 muffins

Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup strong coffee, room temperature
  • 3/4 2%cup milk
  • 1/3 cup unflavoured oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • more chocolate chips for the top
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line your muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Stir in the both chocolate chips.
  3. In a measuring cup, measure the coffee to the 1/4 cup line. Add milk until it reaches the 1 cup line. Add oil until it reaches the 1 1/3 cup mark. Then, with a fork, beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.
  5. Divide between however many muffin cups you want to make and sprinkle some more chocolate chips on top. Bake for 13-18 minutes depending on the size of your muffins. Until your toothpick comes out clean. If you smell something burning, you've left them in too long.
