Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- Chicken Egg – 1 large
- Milk – ⅔ cup (150 ml)
- All-Purpose Flour – 1⅓ cups (175 g)
- Sugar – ½ cup (100 g)
- Vegetable Oil – ¼ cup (60 ml)
- Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons (10 g)
- Cocoa Powder – ⅓ cup (45 g)
- Salt – ⅓ teaspoon (2 g)
Instructions:
Preparation of the Mixture:
- Start by vigorously whisking one large egg in a mixing bowl. Gradually blend in the vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Combining Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of all dry ingredients, which helps in achieving a uniform texture in your muffins. Add these dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously. Mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a homogenous batter without lumps.
Baking the Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C). Lightly grease your muffin tins with some oil to prevent sticking. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for the muffins to rise. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Enjoy your freshly baked chocolate cocoa muffins warm or at room temperature, ideally with a cup of milk or coffee for a complete indulgent experience!
