Ingredients
•1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
•1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•1 tsp baking powder
•1/2 tsp baking soda
•1/4 tsp salt
•2 large eggs
•1/2 cup natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
•1/2 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
•1/3 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for a lighter option)
•1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
1.Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tray with paper liners or grease lightly.
2.Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3.Prepare Wet Mixture: In another bowl, beat eggs, sweetener, milk, and melted butter until combined.
4.Combine Mixtures: Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5.Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
6.Fill Muffin Tray: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
7.Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
8.Cool: Remove muffins from the tray and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
