- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil (or melted butter for extra richness)

- 1 Packet Baking Powder
- 1 Packet Vanilla
- 1.5 Cups All-Purpose Flour (add a bit more if needed based on the consistency)
- 160g Chocolate Chunks

- Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of cold butter, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Rub the mixture together with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the muffin batter.
