These muffins are decadent and full of chocolate, I promise you everyone will want to eat more than one!
The recipe works great by its own but feel free to fill or frost them if you wish. Some great options to combine with these are: cream cheese frosting, dulce de leche, strawberry jam and mocha frosting.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips, semi sweet
- 1 cup of sugar
- ½ cup of butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup of all purpose flour
- ¼ cup of cocoa powder
- ½ cup of plain yogurt
- ¼ of black coffee, brewed
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- ½ cup of chocolate chips, extra to decorate
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Over a bain marie, also known as double boiler, melt your chocolate chips, vanilla extract and butter. You can also complete this step using the microwave, just make sure you heat the chips 30 seconds at a time and whisk them in between to make sure you won’t burn the chocolate.
- In a large bowl, cream together the plain yogurt, salt and sugar. You can do this either with an electric mixer or by hand.
- Add the eggs into the bowl and whisk well until you get a pale mixture.
- Pour in the coffee. This step is optional but I recommend it because it will help to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Sift in the all purpose flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. It is important to sift the dry ingredients before mixing them into the batter so you can avoid having lumps.
- Divide the batter into 12 large muffin tins and sprinkle some chocolate chips on top to add even more deliciousness and to decorate the muffins.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until puffy. Check them after 15 minutes because every oven performs slightly different and you don’t want to overbake these.
When ready let them cool down before trying them. Enjoy!
