Calling all chocolate lovers: these chocolate chip muffins have an intense, rich chocolate flavor with a crumbly texture. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this chocolate chip muffin recipe will not disappoint!

I am a big chocolate lover. Chocolate is my go-to sweet treat, it's my favorite ice cream flavor and cake flavor. It's even better when I get to have chocolate as part of my breakfast! So it's no surprise that I absolutely love these decadent double chocolate, chocolate chip muffins. I really enjoy eating these muffins in the morning and getting my chocolate intake for the day right when I wake up.

These chocolate chip muffins are any chocolate and muffin lover's dream! They have a rich chocolate flavor with the crumbly texture characteristic of an amazing muffin. The chocolate flavor comes from a combination of cocoa powder, melted chocolate chips, and regular chocolate chips. However, the great thing about this recipe is that you can alter the strength of the chocolate taste to your liking. If you aren't a big chocolate person, skip adding melted chocolate to the batter.

Muffins, especially these chocolate-flavored ones, aren't restricted to simply being a breakfast food. If you're craving something sweet after dinner, try one of these muffins to fulfill your inner chocolate lover!

Chocolate Chip Muffin Ingredients

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar (add more if desired)
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• Dash of vanilla extract if desired

How To Make Chocolate Chip Muffins:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare cupcake/muffin tin with muffin liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together.
4. OPTIONAL: Melt about ¼ cup of chocolate chips in the microwave and add it to the wet ingredients. Do this step if you desire muffins with a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.

These muffins are bursting with chocolate flavor, which is part of why I like them so much. However, if you're not much of a chocolate person, then try skipping out on the melted chocolate step for a less intense taste. You can also add more or less sugar depending on how sweet you like your muffins.
