Description

Rich and gooey molten chocolate chip muffins with a soft center and a perfectly baked exterior, ideal for dessert or a decadent snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 6 small squares of dark chocolate (for molten center)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter. Place one square of dark chocolate in the center, then cover with more batter until 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are set but the center remains soft.
  8. Cool slightly before serving to enjoy the molten center.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the center molten.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best results.
  • Serve warm with ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
