Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to ensure even distribution.
  6. Fill each muffin cup around two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
