Servings: 10 muffins
Ingredients:
- Cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons (about 30 mL)
- Kefir: 70 mL (about 1/3 cup)
- Egg: 1 large
- Vegetable oil: 70 g (about 1/3 cup)
- All-purpose flour: 120 g (about 1 cup)
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon (5 mL)
- Sugar: 60 g (about 1/4 cup)
- Salt: a pinch
- Chocolate chips: 1 handful (about 1/3 cup or 50 g)
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
In a deep bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Use a whisk to ensure they are well combined.
In another bowl or jug, blend the egg, vegetable oil, and kefir.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, stirring until there are no lumps. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 15-18 minutes.
Allow the muffins to cool before serving. For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a sweet sauce or condensed milk.
Enjoy these chocolate muffins with a cup of tea or coffee, perfect for any occasion that calls for a quick, delicious treat.
