Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (113g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, plus more for topping
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (55g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
Directions
1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Line 12 muffin cups with liners and set aside.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter
- In a medium heatproof bowl, place the chopped chocolate and butter.
- Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Alternatively, you can set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Whisk Eggs and Sugar
- Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to low and slowly add in the melted chocolate mixture. Stop the mixer once combined.
5. Fold in Dry Ingredients
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fill Muffin Cups
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle extra chopped chocolate on top before baking, if desired.
7. Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
8. Cool
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
