Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 g (7 ounces) dark chocolate (bittersweet)
- 200 g (7 ounces) flour
- 2 eggs
Wet Ingredients:
- 150 ml (5 fluid ounces) oil (vegetable or canola)
- 200 ml (6.8 fluid ounces) milk
- 1 pack of vanilla sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 125 g (4.4 ounces) sugar
- 50 g (1.8 ounces) cocoa powder
- 1 pack of baking powder
- 4 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 180°C (350°F) and arrange paper liners in a muffin tin.
- Whisk sugar, oil, and vanilla sugar in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Incorporate eggs and beat until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Gently melt dark chocolate and allow it to cool slightly before incorporating into the wet ingredients.
- Sift cocoa powder, baking powder, and flour into the mixture, stirring until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Gradually pour milk into the batter, mixing continuously to create a silky, consistent texture.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully portion the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean.
- Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Swap vegetable oil with coconut oil for a richer, subtly sweet flavor that complements the chocolate.
- Use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content to intensify the deep, complex chocolate taste and reduce overall sweetness.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend, ensuring the same tender texture and rich chocolate experience.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate’s depth without introducing a coffee flavor, creating a more sophisticated dessert.
