Muffin Monday: Triple Chocolate Muffins

Author: from bake at 350

Recipe type: Muffins, Dessert

Serves: 12

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
1¾ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
⅔ cup dutch-process cocoa (I used Hershey’s)
11/4 cup sugar
1 tsp instant espresso powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp Kosher salt
½ c. bittersweet chocolate chips
½ c. semisweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp white vinegar

Instructions

Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cups. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425.
Melt the butter; set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and vinegar until blended. Stir in the cooled, melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula, just until blended.
Spoon into the prepared muffin liners…the cups will be very full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the muffins bounce back when pressed with a finger. Cool on a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes.
Remove from the pan and let them cool just a bit longer. Serve warm.
