Talk about a chocolate lover’s dream, these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins are sure to please the chocolate lover in your household. Chocolate muffins are taken up a notch with the addition of chocolate chips mixed into the batter. Then, more chocolate chips are sprinkled on top right before they go into the oven. The result is the perfect combination of chocolate, and well…. more chocolate!
What I love about these little muffins is that they aren’t too sweet. Don’t get me wrong, they still have some sweetness to them, however, they are not cake or cupcake like sweet. And when they come out of the oven, they are super moist, and just perfect for a special breakfast. These chocolate chocolate chip muffins are best served fresh out of the oven, as we did notice they tend to lose some of the moistness when they are eaten as leftovers a day or two later.
Serve some fresh fruit alongside them (this might help relieve any guilt you have over serving chocolate for breakfast :) ) and you’ve got yourself a special weekend treat! Enjoy!

- In a small bowl combine eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla. Mix well.

I love chocolate, these look SO delicious! I can’t wait to make them.
Thanks for stopping by Sasha, I hope you enjoy them! :)
These turned out really good :) Though a bit hard on the outside but moist on the inside, the chocolate flavor was perfect. I baked these for 20 min because my oven tends to take a touch longer, but thinking next time I’ll bake them for 18 since the outsides turned out a touch hard… Maybe that was the problem???
Perhaps – it could also make a difference whether you’re using dark or light colored muffin tins. If you’re using dark tins, you’ll want to reduce the baking time a bit!
