Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can be swapped with gluten-free flour containing xanthan gum.)
  • 0.75 cups Cocoa Powder (Use unsweetened cocoa for a richer taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Ensure it’s fresh for optimal lift.)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Can substitute with sea salt if preferred.)
  • 0.5 cups Espresso (brewed) (Strong brewed coffee can be used as a substitute.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Feel free to sprinkle extra on top.)
  • 2 large Eggs (Acts as a binding agent.)
  • 0.5 cups Buttermilk (Can replace with milk mixed with lemon juice.)

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare muffin tins with parchment paper liners.

  5. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving some for topping if desired.
  6. Fill muffin cups to the top and smooth the tops.
