Deliciously soft and chocolatey mini muffins, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder

- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing. Optionally, fold in chocolate chips.

Notes
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
- For an extra chocolatey treat, sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
