• Cocoa powder: 55 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp / 2 oz)
• Brown sugar: 120 g (1/2 cup / 4 oz)
• All-purpose flour: 160 g (1 ¼ cups / 5.6 oz)
• Salt: 1/4 tsp
• Baking powder: 2 tsp
• Eggs: 3 large
• Milk: 120 ml (½ cup / 4 fl oz)
• Chocolate: 150 g (¾ cup + 2 tbsp / 5.3 oz)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures even baking for your muffins.

2. Prepare Your Muffin Tin

Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with butter. This will help the muffins come out easily.

3. Melt the Butter

In a medium saucepan, melt the **butter** over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine **cocoa powder**, **brown sugar**, **flour**, **salt**, and **baking powder**. Whisk them together until well combined.

5. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the **eggs**, **milk**, and melted **butter** until fully combined.

6. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

7. Fold in the Chocolate

Chop your **chocolate** into small pieces and fold them into the batter, distributing them evenly.

8. Fill the Muffin Tin

Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter. This allows room for the muffins to rise.

9. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool and Enjoy!

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing the batter: This can make your muffins dense. Stir just until combined.
• Skipping the cooling time: Letting them cool will enhance their texture and flavors.
• Not measuring ingredients accurately: Baking is a science; precise measurements are crucial for success.
