- Cuisine: American
- 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)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- 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.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, ensuring a few small lumps remain.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, distributing them throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- 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.
- Bake for an initial 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to create a domed top.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
