Common Questions About Double Chocolate Muffins

How do I make sure my muffins stay moist?

The secret ingredient here is plain yogurt. It provides a ton of moisture, ensuring you get moist muffins every time.

How do I ensure even distribution of chocolate chips?

The trick is mixing the chocolate chips with the dry ingredients before combining them with the wet ingredients. This method helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

Why is my muffin batter thick?

Muffin batter is typically thicker than cake batter to ensure it rises correctly and forms those beloved muffin tops. Don’t worry if it’s thicker than what you’re used to!

Storage

You can keep these double chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container on the counter for a day or two. Beyond that, I recommend the fridge!

Refrigerator

Store these mouthwatering muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You may need to warm them slightly before serving to restore their soft texture.

Freezer

This recipe is freezer-friendly. Store the muffins in a freezer bag for up to three months. When you’re ready to indulge, warm them in the oven wrapped in foil or pop them in the microwave (without foil).

Tips

This recipe will remind you a lot of a wonderful, moist chocolate cake. I just love being able to make my own bakery-style muffins right at home!

• Always ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
• Measure your flour correctly using a measuring cup or a kitchen scale to prevent dry muffins.
• Do not overmix the muffin batter, as it can result in tough muffins. A few lumps are okay!
• Use an ice cream scoop for even distribution of the muffin batter into the muffin tin.
