Double Chocolate Muffins
Super moist and rich Double Chocolate Muffins! The perfect way to start your day!
There is nothing better than a breakfast that tastes like dessert. These Double Chocolate Chip Muffins are super rich, fluffy and moist. They are the perfect start to any morning!
These muffins are not too sweet and are loaded with tons of chocolate. I added sour cream to make the muffins super soft and moist. You can always substitute plain greek yogurt as well. I also added in hot coffee to amplify the chocolate flavor of these muffins.
I like to bake the muffins in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes then drop it down to 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. This provides a taller and more domed muffin.
All you need for this recipe is 3 bowls and a whisk. No stand mixer required.
They are wonderful for breakfast or as a dessert. Perfect to go alongside your morning cup of coffee.
