Tips & Tricks for the Best Double Chocolate Muffins
✔ Use Buttermilk for Extra Moisture: Buttermilk creates a super soft texture—substitute ¾ cup milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar if you don’t have it.
✔ Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined to keep muffins light and fluffy.
✔ Bake at High Heat First: Start at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for the rest of the baking time for a high-domed bakery-style muffin.
✔ Use Different Chocolate Chips: Try white chocolate, dark chocolate, or peanut butter chips for a fun twist!
