- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter, for a fudgy center.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chewier texture, you can substitute 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar with packed light brown sugar.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter with the chocolate chips for added crunch.
- To achieve a more pronounced crinkly top, sprinkle a tiny pinch of granulated sugar over the top of each batter-filled cup before baking.
