⏲️ Secret #5: Don’t Peek Too Soon
Resist the urge to open the oven door early. Muffins need consistent heat to rise properly. Opening the door too early can cause them to sink.
Bake time: 18–22 minutes total. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs — not wet batter.
🍫 Bonus Tips for Maximum Chocolate Flavor
- Add espresso powder: Just ½ teaspoon deepens the chocolate taste without adding coffee flavor.
- Use a mix of dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips for dimension.
- Want gooey centers? Press a piece of chocolate into the middle before baking.
🎉 Serving and Storing
- Let muffins cool slightly before eating — this sets the crumb and intensifies the flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the microwave for 15 seconds to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven feel.
