Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (60-70% cacao)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) for mini muffins or 375°F (190°C) for standard muffins. Grease and flour the muffin tins.
  2. Melt the bittersweet chocolate chips with butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, and let cool slightly.
  3. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt on high for 5 minutes until thick and creamy.
  4. Reduce mixer speed to low and blend in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently stir in the flour and cocoa powder until just incorporated; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in mini chocolate chips to the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 11-15 minutes for mini muffins or 15-25 minutes for standard muffins.
  9. Look for puffed tops that are shiny and slightly cracked. Adjust baking time for desired fudginess or cakiness.
  10. Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the muffin tins are greased well to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust baking time based on your preferred texture.
  • For best results, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate.
