Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt, along with the chocolate chips, reserving a few chocolate chips for topping the muffins (optional).

Step 3

Into a large liquid measuring cup or bowl, add the milk, eggs, vanilla and oil. Whisk together with a fork.

Step 4

Add the liquid ingredients and mix everything together just until no streaks of flour remain.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups and top with the remaining chocolate chips (optional).

Step 6

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of one of the muffins comes out clean.
