Muffins are a baker’s best friend. If you’re starting off with baking and you can’t figure out what to bake, bake muffins! If you’re a professional baker and you have a sweet craving and you can’t figure out what to bake, bake muffins! Haha. And if you really have to bake some muffins, nothing can be better than these chocolate chunk muffins!
Why these muffins are called chocolate chunk muffins is because you incorporate some dark chocolate chunks into the batter that make them so much more decadent and most certainly more heavenly.
These chocolate chunk muffins are so perfect, I can’t even! The recipe is also pretty easy and straight-forward and who does not love some rich chocolate muffins with a good cup of coffee? Haha!
How to perfectly bake these easy Chocolate Chunk Muffins
Even though muffins seem super easy to bake, there are some tips you should definitely remember while baking muffins.
- Do not overmix. As a result of overmixing, your muffins will not come out as you desire them to be. To prevent the same, mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and then coarsely mix them together. Above all, when you add the dark chocolate chunks, please do not overmix because you will end up ruining the chunky nature of the muffins.
- In order to transfer the batter into the mold, one should always an ice cream scooper. Due to the flowy nature of the batter, you might end up with messy molds and you most certainly don’t need that.
- Even more important is to not overfill the molds. Your muffins will flow out and come out in a disoriented shape- something you certainly do not want.
