🍴Instructions
Step One: make the batter
Grab a big bowl and sift together your flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This guarantees a silky, smooth batter. Now, pour in the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract. Mix it all up until it’s well combined. Remember, a few lumps here and there aren’t a big deal, so don’t stress too much.
Time for the star of the show – the chocolate chips. Fold them into the batter, making sure they’re spread evenly. But keep a handful aside for that final chocolaty sprinkle.
Step Two: assemble
Now, let’s fill up those muffin cups. Make sure they’re about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Step three: bake
Bake for about 20-24 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean, and the tops are firm to the touch. Let your muffins cool down a bit before moving them to a wire rack for complete cooling. And there you have it – Jumbo double chocolate chip muffins ready to be enjoyed!

Jumbo Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
Equipment
- 2 Jumbo Muffin Tins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips reserve some for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the batter. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures a smooth batter without any lumps. Add the wet ingredients on top (milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract) and whisk or mix with hand mixer until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Reserve a few chips for topping.
- Scoop. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be firm to the touch.
- Cool. Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
