Best Moist Chocolate Muffins Recipe

Hello my lovelies!!

Why Homemade Chocolate Muffins?

I’m still following my new rule: avoid buying industrial cakes and snacks for my children. So, I keep trying new recipes. Today I will share a delicious recipe coming directly from the US… American moist chocolate muffins!

Those babies are to die for!!! Perfect for chocolate lovers, you can keep them easily at room temperature (well… if they don’t disappear!!).

The Secret to Moist Chocolate Muffins

No butter, no cream… Just yogurt, a bit of milk, and vegetable oil. Honestly, they are so easy and quick to make!!

Do you have a better plan??

My trick to achieve a super moist texture: half a teaspoon of baking soda and flour with baking powder inside. And, it’s amazing!!

If you don’t have this kind of flour, simply use your usual all-purpose flour and add a teaspoon of baking powder.

Also, choose large chocolate chips instead of the drops. In fact, the taste will be even better.
