Triple-Chocolate Muffins

These triple-chocolate muffins get their name because they include chopped bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened cocoa, and chocolate chips.

These triple chocolate muffins are loaded with enough chocolate-y flavor to satisfy any cravings.

These muffins are super easy to make and I love how the tops get all "brownie like" and split open. These muffins are awesome for breakfast, and if you want to take them to another level, split them and spread them with strawberry jam.

One of the tricks to getting these muffins to rise high is to place them in a 425 degree F oven, bake them for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. While the chocolate kind of "weighs down" the batter, the initial high temperature gives these muffins some "oven spring."

Just like with bread.

How do you Make Triple-Chocolate Muffins? 

These triple-chocolate muffins take no time at all to pull together.

First, melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave. Next, mix the dry ingredients in one bowl.

Next, combine the sugar, milk vanilla, and eggs in a bowl. Finally, add both the butter/chocolate mixture and the milk mixture to the flour mixture and gently combine with the chocolate chips. Divide the mixture among the the lined baking cups and bake.
