As I’ve said before, I love breakfast. Part of my obsession with breakfast is that most breakfast foods are just dessert incognito. A perfect example of this is muffins. I love muffins! I’m not really sure why I’m such a muffin fanatic because I don’t really like cake. Muffins have more texture, and the tops are perfectly chewy.
The equation looks like this:
muffins>cake
These muffins are chewy and chocolately and dense in the most delicious way possible.
I don’t have a whole lot to say, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Muffins
recipe via ingredientsinc.net
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons canola oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3. Combine milk, sour cream, oil, egg and vanilla in a separate bowl. Combine the flour mixture and milk mixture, mixing until lumpy. Spoon into lightly greased muffin pans. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top, if desired.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
These were so Dang delightful. Wish there were more for me to eat.
Just saw these on Foodgawker, I definitely want to make these soon! I currently have dark cocoa powder… we’ll see how they turn out. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I’m a sucker for dessert-like breakfast foods too! Can’t wait to make these muffins….double chocolate – yes, please!!
Oh wow. This looks like it’s up my alley. Chocolate galore. For breakfast! :YES!
your pictures are gorgeous! so much fun to make muffins for the first time, and you can never go wrong with a double chocolate moment.
These look so good and chocolatey! Bookmarking them now!
I also love muffins! Great photos here!
I totally get what you mean by muffins>cakes!! LOL
Cakes usually tend to have a lighter texture, which I guess is better for them since they tend to have more frostings, fillings, etc.
But yes I definitely love muffins so much more for their moistness and density, which give muffins that delicious richness
Totally agree!
Chocolate for breakfast is the best idea, in my opinion and the more chocolate the better. I hope you’ll come by and link them up to Sweets for a Saturday. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweets-for-saturday-22.html
I surely will! Thanks Lisa
These look so yummy!

Ah I’m so happy you tried the recipe! I would agree with you that these were definitely sweet like a cupcake, but they had the airy, chewy texture of a muffin which I love! Also, your blog is absolutely beautiful!
We LOVED these. Have made them several times already, (every time we had company or a similar ‘excuse’) Today– we are making them because it’s Monday. And my little girl turns three on Saturday and why should we wait until then to have chocolate, right?!?!
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them! They are a favorite of mine as well
