You can chop the chocolate however large or small you like. Larger chunks of chocolate will give you bigger bites of chocolate whereas smaller chunks will give you more consistent chocolaty flavor as you eat the muffin.
For added crunch, consider folding some chopped walnuts or pecans into the muffin batter.
If you would like to add more texture to the muffins, you could sprinkle them with raw sugar rather than brown sugar before baking them. While brown sugar will melt into the batter during the baking process, raw sugar will keep its form and add some crunch.
Chocolate Muffins Vs. Cupcakes
Cupcakes are sweeter, lighter, and often frosted, resembling mini cakes. Muffins are denser, less sweet, and can include mix-ins like nuts or fruit, often eaten without frosting. The batter for muffins is typically less smooth, making them heartier than cupcakes.
What to Serve with Chocolate Muffins?
As with other decadent chocolate desserts, these chocolate muffins are delicious with a cold glass of milk, strong coffee, or a cup of tea. These muffins don’t need anything added to them, but for those who enjoy eating gooey, melty chocolate, you can warm them up in the microwave, slice them in half, and serve them with some butter.
Can I Make These Chocolate Muffins Dairy-Free?
Yes, if you would like to make these chocolate muffins dairy-free, simply replace the milk with your favorite plant-based milk such as almond milk or soy milk, and the butter with plant-based butter. This may change the flavor of the muffins slightly but they will still be very delicious.
