Chocolate Chip Chocolate Muffins
These chocolate chip chocolate muffins quickly became popular and often requested. The twelve muffins don’t last long with teenagers.
Who says chocolate isn’t for breakfast? No one in my house, for sure! Looking back at my recipes I have a few of them that are for breakfast and include chocolate.
Chocolate chip muffins are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. Chocolate coffee pecan swirl coffee cakeĀ and strawberry chocolate French toast are two family favorites.Ā
So, you might find an unusual ingredient in this recipe – red wine vinegar. Don’t worry, you can’t taste it, my kids will attest to that fact.
It’s used in this recipe to react with the baking soda to create the chemical reaction needed to produce carbon dioxide to get the rise in the batter. There’s your science lesson for the day. Again, I promise you can’t taste it so don’t let one ingredient turn you off to a great recipe.
These muffins are a great grab and go breakfast, lunch box treat, or even dessert. That’s happened before too. While there is a lot of chocolate these chocolate chip chocolate muffins are not overly sweet.

This looks so good. This is definitely what my son would love. I love it.
Super chocolatey! This muffin would be perfect for a chocoholic like me. š I would love to eat one of these with a cup of coffee or a big glass of milk.
I love everything about these! Warm it up & add a scoop of ice cream and you have yourself a tasty dessert too!

I’m glad you threw in chocolate chips as well as the Rodelle cocoa. Looks delish!
