Double-Chocolate Muffins

Typically when I find myself at a coffee shop for breakfast, pastries such as double chocolate muffins do not tempt me. I usually go for the scone or the bagel or the deceivingly healthy-looking bran muffin.
So I can’t explain why I was tempted to make these, but I’m happy I did—they somehow strike a nice balance between rich and chocolaty in flavor but light and airy in texture. They’re perfectly sweet to boot.
Notes: I did use a “good” brand of cocoa, courtesy of cousin Jay who brought me some Dagoba cocoa powder from a trade show he recently worked at. I’m not sure if using a high-quality cocoa powder makes a difference, but I don’t want to overlook it either. Maybe if you have some good stuff on hand, use it 🙂
These are so yummy. Enjoy!

Really nice, easy recipe. Used 3/4 cup sugar, more than enough.

Great to hear! Thanks for writing. I love these and haven’t made them in ages.
Delicious! I only used 3/4 cup sugar, avocado oil instead of butter and dark chocolate chunks and they were perfection. Thank you for the excellent recipe!!

Hi,
Can we substitute oil for the butter? And if so, would the amount remain the same?
Thank you!
Yes, you can! I would use a little less oil. Try 1/3 cup.
