The Ultimate Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins-perfect with your morning coffee or as an afternoon snack.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire town of Newtown, CT. Many bloggers are looking for a way to show support. A group of bloggers have come up with Cookies and Crafts for Sandy Hook. You can read all the details here. I’ll be participating. I know we all want to do something, anything, to ease the suffering this town is dealing with.
We spent Sunday making muffins. We made more of my Coffeehouse Coffee Cake Muffins, we made Blueberry Muffins (recipe coming soon) and we made these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins. The grandkids will be arriving Friday and instead of stocking the cabinets with pop tarts, we’re stocking the freezer with muffins. Still the convenience of a grab and go breakfast or snack but so much better tasting than anything out of a box. Just pop one in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and it’s like it’s fresh out of the oven all over again.
Most of them made it to the freezer, most of them. Hopefully there’ll still be some in the freezer on Friday, if not, we’ll just have to make more.

- In a large measuring cup or medium bowl combine remaining ingredients except melted butter. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients and stir until moistened, add in melted butter and stir till all combined.

December 17, 2012 at 1:49 pmThese look delicious. And I think spending the weekend baking muffins with your children, being grateful for what we have, was the perfect way to try and deal with Friday’s tragedy.

December 18, 2012 at 12:18 pmWhat a great weakend! I wish my weekend, I wish my resulted in yummy muffins too! Chocolate muffins are my favorite (of course!) I like the idea of freezing them for later. I’ve never tried that with muffins. I guess because we’d just devour them right away! Thanks for the recipe!

December 18, 2012 at 5:42 pmI know what you mean about wanting to spend more time with loved ones. My step-sons are all grown up but some days they still seem like the little boys that used to climb in my lap for a snuggle and book to read. I think Friday we are all going to post something for the Children.

December 19, 2012 at 10:36 pmWe spent our weekend the same way, Joan. I haven’t stopped holding my little one since last Friday – I think he is getting tired of my hugs by now, but I don’t care. 🙂 These muffins do look like the ULTIMATE – they would not last long in my house. Thanks so much for linking up at What’s In Your Kitchen Wednesday!
Dawn says

January 25, 2013 at 11:37 pmI was just wondering do you have to use the instant coffee?? can you taste it in their??? thank you
Joan Hayes says
January 26, 2013 at 12:00 amThe instant coffee just enhances the chocolate but you don’t taste it. You could easily leave it out.
Amanda Rosenburg says
January 28, 2013 at 6:08 amI made these tonight and yummy! I added both white and chocolate chips on the top of the muffins about half way threw baking… Thank-you for sharing this yummy recipe!

Tina says
December 31, 2014 at 9:35 amI was just wondering, why you need the vinegar. Will you be able to taste it?
Joan Hayes says
January 4, 2015 at 8:01 amYou won’t taste the vinegar at all. It just heightens the chocolate flavor when using cocoa powder.
Pam says
July 16, 2015 at 8:45 amLove you recipes!!! As a chocolate lover, I can never have enough recipes with chocolate in them. By the time I am done, I will have a whole cookbook of chocolate recipes from you! Thanks for sharing.
