How to Make Pure Chocolate Bliss Muffins
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and both sugars.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Gently whisk until just combined — don’t overmix.
Step 4: Fold in Chocolate
Fold in chocolate chips or chunks, saving a few for topping if you like.

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until tops are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let muffins cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Try not to eat them all warm… or do
