Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delightful treat, perfect for breakfast or a snack. With a rich chocolate flavor and crunchy nuts, the muffins are sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth. Whip up a batch and enjoy the heavenly aroma wafting through your kitchen.

When it comes to the ingredients for the muffins, quality matters. For the cocoa powder, opt for unsweetened varieties that pack a rich chocolate punch. If you have nut allergies, feel free to skip the walnuts or replace them with an equal amount of chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness. You can also swap the milk for a non-dairy alternative without sacrificing too much texture.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 4 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare muffin cups by greasing them or lining them with paper muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cups of milk, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the large bowl and beat well until the batter is smooth.
- Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter. If you’re feeling fancy, poke some almonds into the tops of the unbaked muffins for a decorative touch.
- Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of white sugar over the muffins before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
