These gorgeous muffins have 3 types of chocolate in them – cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips!
First of all, Happy Birthday to my dear husband! At the time of me writing this post, he had not decided on a birthday dessert yet. I’ll share that recipe with you once he decides.
These muffins came out of a necessity for some breakfast food. We have cereal and granola bars in our pantry, but that’s about it when it comes to breakfast. That’s why I’ve been on such a bread-baking spree. In between my bread adventures, I’ve been baking up muffins. Addie was tired of the non-chocolate muffins so I finally made some to make her happy.
She helped me add (er, I mean POUR) in the chocolate chips. She may have eaten a few as a snack as well, but that’s the reward you get for helping. My little girl has been happily eating these for her breakfast and finally took a break from the granola bars.
What I loved about these muffins was that they were a triple chocolate threat. The base had cocoa, and the muffins had two different types of chocolate chips. The only way you could have improved these was by dunking the muffins in some additional chocolate or topping them off with ganache or frosting.
Happy triple chocolate muffin eating!

Triple chocolate muffins
Ingredients
- 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl if using a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and mix well.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Evenly distribute the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling each well almost all the way to the top. Sprinkle on additional chocolate chips as desired.
