Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you put the muffin bread in to bake.
- Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk them until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps remaining.
- Once the batter is mostly combined, fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the muffin bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the dark chocolate chip muffin bread once it has cooled, and enjoy it as a delicious breakfast treat or snack!
Tips
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the most intense flavor experience
- Don't overmix the batter - lumpy batter creates a more tender bread
- Check doneness with the toothpick test - a few moist crumbs are perfect
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- For extra richness, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking
- Warm slightly before serving to enhance the chocolate's melting qualities
