Hi everyone,
To start off this post I am just going to say "these are some of BEST muffins EVER!" I would like to thank "The Keenan Cookbook" for finding this recipe! I made these one day when my parents were gone and I was babysitting my little siblings. I went on Google and got to work, I kept telling my self "I don't think your going to find anything worth making" but I was wrong!
Triple Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients
- ¾ stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Fit a 12 muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
- Melt the butter and half the chopped chocolate together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract together until well combined. Pour the liquid ingredients and the melted butter and chocolate over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Do not over mix the batter. Stir in the remaining chopped chocolate and the semi-sweet chocolate. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing the muffins.
