Full Recipe Section

Ingredients:

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup hot freshly brewed coffee
• ½ cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup sour cream (or full-fat plain Greek yogurt)
• 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips (divided)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line 2 jumbo muffin pans with paper liners or spray with nonstick spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, add the cocoa powder and hot coffee and whisk to form a paste.
4. To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the vegetable oil and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until blended, about 1 to 2 minutes (the mixture will resemble wet sand).
5. Add the cocoa paste and mix to combine.
6. With the mixer on low, add the milk, sour cream, beaten eggs, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed just until combined.
7. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chunks or chips.
9. Fill each cup of the muffin tin to the top. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chunks or chips.
10. Bake for 5 minutes at 425ºF, then lower the oven temperature to 350ºF and bake for 20-25 minutes (for jumbo muffins) or 18-22 minutes (for standard size), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. *All ovens bake differently, so I recommend checking after 15 minutes.
11. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Success

To get the best texture, measure your flour properly—scoop and level it rather than packing it down. Keep your mixer speed low when adding the flour mixture to prevent overmixing. And, for that perfect, moist muffin, check for done-ness a few minutes early!

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm, or in the oven at 350ºF for about 5 minutes.
