Triple Chocolate Muffins are the perfect muffin for all chocolate lovers. These tender muffins are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or an afternoon snack.
These muffins are super chocolaty and are made with cocoa powder, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate. You will love how tender, moist, and super easy to make.
The white chocolate chips are a great addition to these chocolate muffins along with the chocolate chips. I believe that there can never be too much chocolate. So no doubt, this is one of my favorite muffins.
Helpful Tips:
- Use natural cocoa powder instead of Dutch-processed.
- Do not overmix the batter. It is okay to have some lumps in the batter.
- This recipe makes about 16 muffins. It is okay if you have a 12-cup tin to bake 12 muffins and then when the first muffins are done, bake the remaining batter.
- The number of muffins may change depending on the size of your muffin tin cups and how full you fill the cups.
- Ovens can back differently, so check your muffins about 5 minutes before the time listed in the recipe. Use a wooden pick to insert in the middle of the muffin, if the wooden pick comes out clean the muffins are done.
- The muffins can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for 2 to 3 days or in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
- The muffins can also be frozen for a later date. Place in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Thaw muffins at room temperature or place them in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds or until they are thawed.
