Make Double Chocolate Muffins for the perfect excuse to enjoy chocolate for breakfast. Each bite is so decadent and amazing while being so easy to make.
I just love chocolate and these double chocolate chip muffins are a family favorite. I love most sweets, but probably my all time most favorite baked good would be something with chocolate in it.
This muffin recipe is full of chocolate flavor and has amazing taste. It is almost like eating chocolate cake in a muffin form. Check out Chocolate Chip Muffins for another tasty dessert.

Variations Ideas
- Chocolate Chips – We used regular chocolate chips but you can also use mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
- Sour Cream – We like adding in ½ cup of sour cream for the best and moist muffins.
How to Make Double Chocolate Muffins
Step 1 – Whisk all dry ingredients together.
Step 2 – Mix all wet ingredients together. Now it is time to combine all wet and dry mixture together.
Step 3 – Add in chocolate chips to the muffin batter in large bowl.
Step 4 – I like to use a large baking scoop to fill the paper liners nearly all the way to the top in the muffin pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool muffins on a wire rack.
Expert Tips
- Scooping Muffin Batter – I highly recommend using a cookie scoop to fill the muffin tins. I have these at home and I use the biggest one to help make filling up the muffin cups easier. (The 3 pack is on sale!)
- Combining Ingredients – Combine the ingredients until everything is mixed together. Make sure to not overmix as that could change the texture of the muffins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Often the cause of dry muffins are the result of over mixing your batter. You want to just stir the wet and dry ingredients until they are just mixed together. No need to keep stirring.
The nice thing about these muffins is that they freeze great. Just place them (after they have cooled) into a freezer bag and freeze. They will stay fresh for up to 3 months. It is so handy having these in the freezer for a quick breakfast idea.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

I’m so glad your granddaughter and you enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing!
My 6 year old granddaughter and I made these yesterday. We used and extra egg and most all of our leftover chocolate and white chocolate regular and mini chocolate chips. They’re so good. We put them in a mini muffin pan and they turned out great.
Thank you again for sharing.
These are easy and delicious! I’ve made them into triple chocolate muffins by using a mixture of dark and milk chocolate chips. 🙂
Do you have to use an electric mixer or will they mix up okay by hand?
Lovely. Feel like taking a bite.
