Ingredients
Scale
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra moisture)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This is your one-bowl start.
Add the egg, milk, yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Carefully pour the boiling water into the batter and mix gently until smooth. The batter will be thin.
Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the muffins.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra fudgy brownie muffins texture, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
You can make these ahead; store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
If you want bakery style chocolate muffins, bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the first 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for the remaining bake time.
