    Easy Double Chocolate Chip Muffins with cocoa, mini chocolate chips and chocolate deliciousness. Whip up these muffins in a hurry - great for school lunches, breakfast or snack!

    So after a very cold spring break the kids returned to school and Caleb and I had time together. The first thing he wanted to do? Bake in the kitchen with mom.

    So... what would we make? Easy Double Chocolate Chip Muffins because there is chocolate. There are chocolate chips. And they are great for snacks, lunches and hungry children.

    When Caleb helped me to make the muffins, he loves to help with the eggs. I have learned to duck and run because eggs have somehow hurled themselves across the room and on me. True story.

    What type of muffins are for you?

    When choosing what muffins to make for your family, there are a lot of options. I know some families use sugar free muffin recipes or some are gluten free. Others like raspberry muffins, blueberry muffins or banana muffins and really don't want to try any other kind.

    Ingredients

    • flour
    • sugar
    • cocoa
    • baking soda
    • egg
    • sour cream
    • milk
    • vanilla
    • oil
    • chocolate chips

    Alternatives

    You can change the recipe around if you want and use almond milk (like I did) instead of regular milk or a different kind of sugar.

    The only thing would be to be sure to add the extra special ingredient. The secret, if you will, of the chocolate muffins success. Sour cream.

    I am not a fan of using sour cream in my baking but I must say, it does make the muffins moist and delicious.

    Process

    chocolate chips in batter.
    Stir in the chocolate chips in the batter.

    These muffins come together easily with all the ingredients being added together. The chocolate chips are added last.

    Quick baking tip

    I would recommend using mini chocolate chips in this muffin recipe because I feel mini chips works with the texture of the muffins better than regular sized muffins.

    Christmas alternative

    An idea for Christmas is to add red and green M&M's to the top of the chocolate muffin batter. They would be a great addition to a Christmas tray or Christmas brunch!

      I made these on a whim tonight to serve for Sunday dinner tomorrow with fresh cherries, fresh strawberries and whipped cream (the squirty kind, of course). One recipe made a dozen regular muffins. I lined them with cupcake liners which must have really taken up some space because I also got 24 mini muffins out of it. OH MY GOODNESS! It was exactly what I wanted. Yes, that means I sampled. The mini muffins had almost a brownie texture. Very rich so one mini was plenty. Thanks for sharing this! I'm sure it will become a family staple.

      I tried this recipe and to be honest, it was a waste of ingredients.
      The colour was very dark and they tasted like flour, Yuk, had to throw them away, even the kids wouldn't eat them.

        Hmm... Well, the color was supposed to be dark, as it is a chocolate muffin. Do you think maybe you forgot the cocoa? My older two kids make these muffins for our family a lot and they are some of our favorites. If I could help you troubleshoot anymore, please let me know!
