- Mixing the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk together one egg and 100 grams of granulated sugar until the mixture lightens in color.
- Sift together 155 grams of flour, 35 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 packet of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Combining Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring well after each addition until the mixture is evenly incorporated but still thick.
- Melt 90 grams of semi-salted butter and blend it with 120 ml of milk. Pour this into the batter, stirring until smooth.
- Fold in 140 grams of chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips.
- Baking the Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a muffin pan by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
- Fill the muffin cups with the batter. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (356°F) and bake the muffins for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
