Hi Bold Bakers!
You know those big bakery style chocolate chip muffins?
The ones that are really soft on the inside and just loaded with chocolate?
Well I’ve searched long and hard and I’m pretty sure I’ve found the perfect recipe
for you today.
As always the written recipe for the muffins can be found on BiggerBolderBaking.com.
So in a bowl lined with a sieve we’re gonna add in our flour, unsweetened cocoa powder,
baking soda and salt.
And then just sift all these ingredients together.
Now you don’t always see me sifting ingredients but the two things you’ll always see me
sift are icing sugar and cocoa powder, they can tend to be lumpy so you just want to make
sure you get those lumps outta there.
Ok perfect, so set those over to the side and we’re gonna bring in the star of our
show, the chocolate.
So here I have some bittersweet chocolate it’s my go-to chocolate, it’s 70% because
it’s the perfect amount of sweet and the perfect amount of richness, this is perfect
for this recipe it makes really decadent muffins.
So now what you need to do is melt this.
I’m gonna melt this in the microwave for around a minute, minute and a half or so.
You could also melt this over a bain-marie.
So our chocolate is out and melted, I let it cool down for a little bit because now
we’re gonna add in the rest of our ingredients, you want to make sure it’s not too hot when
you do that.
So into this I’m gonna add some flavorless oil, some eggs, brown sugar, yogurt and some
vanilla extract.
And then with a whisk just whisk all these ingredients together.
Now by flavorless oil I mean vegetable oil, sunflower oil, even coconut oil would work
really well.
So I love to add yogurt to things like this because yogurt actually acts as a tenderizer,
the acid in the yogurt activates the gluten in the flour and makes them really soft, that’s
what you want out of a big bakery style muffin.
So once you have this all mixed up we’re gonna add in more chocolate chips, then our
dry ingredients.
Then with a spatula you just want to fold these ingredients together.
So just fold until there are no more lumps of flour.
You don’t want to beat this because you want to make sure you don’t develop the
gluten.
So gently mix until you don’t see any more flour, and there you have your batter.
Now this is looking good it actually smells delicious.
So what I want to do now is just get it into our cupcake tin.
So here I have my cupcake tin and this is actually from my Bigger Bolder Baking bakeware
set that you can get on amazon right now.
And I’m gonna line this with 9 liners because this is gonna make 9 big muffins which is
exactly what we want.
Lovely.
Now I’m just gonna take some spoons and fill up the liners pretty much all the way
to the top we’re going for size here we’re going for big muffins.
So a great fact about this recipe you can actually freeze the batter like this in the
cupcake liners, pop them into the freezer and when you want to bake off some fresh muffins,
you just put them back into a cupcake tin and bake them off.
You do want to defrost the batter before you bake them off.
It’s just a really great way to have instant fresh homemade muffins.
I’m just gonna add a few more chocolate chips on top because we are going for triple
chocolate here.
Ok gorgeous, now it’s time to bake these guys off.
So this is important, bake your muffins at 375°F or 190° C for roughly 17-18 minutes.
You don’t want to overbake them because you want them to be lovely and fudgey on the
inside.
Look how gorgeous our muffins came out.
Now come here to me because I want you to see how they’re supposed to look when they
come out.
You want to make sure not to overtake these guys because it’ll dry them out, remember
these are almost brownies masquerading as muffins so you want to bake them just right,
even a little bit under.
So you can see they’re nice and soft on top and you know they’re even softer on
the inside.
I’m really happy with these, they definitely look like real bakery style chocolate chip
muffins, but let’s see if they taste like it.
I’m just gonna go for it.
I’m gonna have to do that again.
Oh my gosh, these are brownie like in texture because of all the chocolate we put into them.
Really moist, super soft, this is exactly what I was going for.
Delicious.
So this was just one of my best ever recipes, if you go to my website you’ll see best
ever brownies, cookies even blueberry muffins.
Thank you so much for watching and I’ll see you back here really soon for more Bigger
Bolder Baking.
