Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet of hot cocoa mix I used Swiss Miss. It measured to about ¼ cup.
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter ¼ cup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture, gently stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
