If you have a chocolate craving, these double chocolate muffins are the answer. They have a velvety inside with a light crunchy texture on the outside. It’s the perfect combination to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Trick to Good Chocolate Muffins
Chocolate muffins turn out the best when they are made with chocolate chips and cocoa powder with yogurt or sour cream.
Depending on the texture you are going for an egg and an egg yolk can bring a soft velvety texture inside and a slightly crunch texture to the outside.
Always remove the oven before the time in the recipe to make sure you don’t overbake!
Why an Egg & Egg Yolk?
An egg yolk adds and extra rich velvety texture and enhances flavor to baked goods.
If you accidentally added both eggs to the mixture, the muffins will still turn out great.
Try making these with 1 egg and 1 egg yolk to get that perfect soft interior and slight crunch on the exterior.
Storing Muffins
Store on the counter in an airtight container for a few days or store in the fridge. I prefer to microwave my muffins for about 30 seconds if I store them in the fridge.
These muffins also freeze well, so if you want to keep them for a quick breakfast trying freezing them.
Simply, slice the large muffins in half and store them in a freezer safe gallon size bag. Reheat for 30 seconds – 60 seconds in the microwave until warmed throughout.
