How to Make Triple Chocolate Muffins
Typically, muffins are considered quick breads, which are made using the muffin method. For this recipe, I decided that the creaming method produced a lighter and softer muffing. Here’s how it’s done:
Preheat oven
prepare ingredients
cream butter and sugars
add cooled melted chocolate
beat in eggs
add dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk
fold in chocolate chips
fill muffin cups and bake.
Tips for Making the Perfect Muffins
With these easy muffin tips, you will get bakery quality muffins every time!
Do not over-mix! Over mixing the batter will make your muffins dense and chewy. Combine the wet and dry ingredients just until combined.
My Triple Chocolate Muffin recipe also uses melted chocolate and cocoa powder. I like to use a high quality chocolate, such as Valrhona or Ghirardelli. Make sure that you cool the melted chocolate slightly before adding it to the batter. For the cocoa powder, I love Rodelle’s Gourmet Baking Cocoa.
This recipe uses buttermilk which gives the muffins a softer texture. The acidity of buttermilk helps keep the muffins moist by breaking down tough strands of gluten.
Make sure your oven in preheated and bake you muffins on the middle rack to ensure an even temperature.
Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer in the middle of a muffin to test for doneness. The toothpick should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs. Over baking will cause dry muffins.
Muffins can be frozen up to 3 months in a freezer bag or air tight container.
If you like chocolate, you’re going to LOVE these Triple Chocolate Muffins! Made with loads of melted chocolate in the batter and full of chocolate chips, this recipe takes chocolate muffins to a whole new level.
