Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • Nutella (for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until there are no lumps.
  3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, ensuring a few small lumps remain.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently, distributing them throughout the batter without overmixing.
  6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Take about a teaspoon or a small dollop of Nutella for each muffin and place it on top of the batter. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the Nutella into the batter.
  8. Bake for an initial 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to create a domed top.
  9. Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 13-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender. Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better rise. For distinct Nutella pockets, swirl gently without mixing too deep.
